This repository serves as a modern template for setting up a Node.js project with TypeScript. It uses modern tooling including tsx for fast development with hot reload.

Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed on your machine.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sezRR/nodejs-typescript-template.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd nodejs-typescript-template

3. Install dependencies:

   npm install

To run the project in development mode with automatic code reloading, use:

npm run dev

This command uses tsx in watch mode to automatically reload your application when files change. tsx is a modern, blazing-fast TypeScript execution engine built on esbuild.

To build the TypeScript source code, use:

npm run build

This command compiles TypeScript files from the src/ directory to the dist/ directory.

To run the built application in production, use:

npm run prod

This command executes the compiled index.js file from the dist/ directory.

• src/: Contains the source code of the application.

  • index.ts: Main entry point of the application.
  • helloWorld.ts: Example module demonstrating TypeScript functionality.

• dist/: Output directory where the compiled JavaScript files are stored.

• tsconfig.json: TypeScript compiler configuration using modern bundler module resolution.
• package.json: Project metadata and script definitions.
