Tsdev (Zero Config Modern Typescript Projects)

Motivation

I really like the idea behind https://github.com/jaredpalmer/tsdx but I find it uses older tools and it ends up taking time for me to setup my typescript packages anyways. So I wanted to make something like it that fit my stack and preferred tools better, something that obfuscates all the configuration needed to run modern typescript applications and allows use to get started instantly.

Get started

npm install -g tsdev-installer

tsdev create {name}

Features

• Instantly bootstrap typescript apps for express, react and next
• Automatically handles all eslint and prettier config
• Comes with built in dev mode with in built watcher
• Use very fast built tools, like esbuild and vite
• Inbuilt config and setup for tailwind
• Has tooling for bundling .dts with dts-bundle
• Has defaults for publishing react packages with vite-library-mode
  • Adds support for twind (tailwind as css-in-js) so you can publish react packages while using tailwind with tiny bundles. This also has better support when use in next
