Getting started

First clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/nea/Typescript-Starter.git <project_name>

or download the zip and extract it.

Change into the cloned/extracted directory and install the dependencies

npm install

Usage

Start developing in the src/ directory. The structure will be preserved and all files and compilations are copied to the output directory bin/.

To start a local server and watch the bin/ directory just call

npm start

Scripts

Watching all files

npm run watch:*

Build all files

npm build

Run a local server

npm run serve

Configuration

You can check the package.json and tsconfig.json and alter them to your needs. For example, if you like to change the output directory, you would have to change all occurrences in these two files.

For more information check out the tsconfig.json and package.json documentation.

Personal Note

I don't know if this is very useful for a lot of people but I was looking for a very simple and basic Typescript Starter template without any grunt, gulp, browsersify, uglify etc. Those are all very sane and good systems and dependencies, but to just get started may overwhelm some people. Therefore, I created an absolute basic compiler/copy system to just get started. I hope this proves useful to you... with all its Bugs and Issues ;) If you like it you can give me a shout at INsanityDesign or let me know via this repository.
