• vite-node
• esbuild
• eslint
• prettier
• typescript
• vitest

A few things to understand

1. building with esbuild
2. building with the typescript compiler

Importing the package.json makes the tsc compiler bundle the /src folder into the /dist folder. To keep these two build options working together esbuild is configured to nest the output in /src folder too.

Have a play around with the configuration and build options to suit the project.

This is a work in progress template and welcome to feedback.
