Opinionated TypeScript/Node Starter Template

This is a template for writing TypeScript/Node projects using a somewhat opinionated dev stack. Choices made:

• Linting: ESLint (v9, using the flat config format)
• Code formatting: Prettier, set to run on file save
• Testing: Node built-in test runner.

This template fully supports ES Modules.

npm is used; yarn and pnpm are not tested.

Using This Template

• See GitHub's instructions to create your repository based on this template.
• Add your name to LICENSE on the line below "Copyright (c) 2020 Dylan Sprague"; the format should be "Copyright (c) [year][your name]".
• Update the repository and author fields in package.json.

Recommended VSCode plugins

• ESLint
• Prettier - Code formatter

Notes on dependencies/configuration

• eslint-plugin-prettier is required to make ESLint report Prettier errors and show them as warnings in VS Code.
• .prettierrc.cjs needs the .cjs extension so it can use module.exports, which isn't valid when using ES modules.
• The typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifierEnding: js VS Code setting ensures that automatic imports will use a .js file ending, which is necessary when using Typescript with ES Modules.
