Plaint test typescript example to use Coffeeless Validator

Seting up local testing:

Option 1

1. Use npm link (Symlink for Development)

This method creates a symbolic link between the package and the examples/plain-typescript folder, allowing you to test changes in real-time.

In the package root directory run:

npm link

This command creates a global symlink to the package.

2. In examples/plain-typescript directory:

npm link coffeeless-validator

This links the global symlink to your examples/plain-typescript folder's node_modules.

3. Import the package in index.ts:

import { ValidationBuilder as Builder } from 'coffeeless-validator/dist';

Option 2

1. Use npm pack (Simulate NPM Package)

This method creates a tarball of the package, simulating how it would be published to NPM.

In the package root directory run:

npm pack

This command generates a .tgz file, e.g., coffeeless-validator-1.0.0.tgz.

2. In the examples/plain-typescript directory:

npm install ../../coffeeless-validator-1.0.0.tgz

3. Import then package in index.ts: import { yourFunction } from 'coffeeless-validator';

Start the test:

npm run start
