init-node-ts

A minimal CLI tool to quickly bootstrap a Node.js + TypeScript project with sensible defaults.

Features

• Initializes a new package.json with common scripts
• Installs typescript and @types/node as dev dependencies
• Creates a tsconfig.json configured for Node.js projects
• Sets up a src/index.ts starter file
• Adds build and start scripts for easy development

Usage

Run the CLI anywhere to create a new project folder setup:

npx init-node-ts

or if installed globally:

init-node-ts

This will:

• Create package.json (if missing)
• Install required dev dependencies
• Create tsconfig.json
• Create src/index.ts
• Add useful scripts (build, start) to package.json

Getting Started

1. Run the CLI in an empty folder (or create a new folder):

mkdir my-new-project
cd my-new-project
npx init-node-ts

2. Build the project:

npm run build

3. Run the project:

npm start
