When I use the boilerplate and try and add and import statement it throws an error in jest

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Hello there.

I noticed that your project contains tsutils; this library hasn't been maintained for a year now, creating problems to others libraries like typescript-eslint.

Check this discussion link here and evaluate to remove it and clean your NPM dependencies.

Best regards and thanks for your work.

TSLint is going to be deprecated in favor of ESLint (palantir/tslint#4534).

"TSLint" in the repository description has not been replaced by "ESLint".

I couldn't figure out how to change this in a pull request.😥

Thank you.

60+ vulnerabilities including one severe vulnerability according to npm audit.

It could be good to have an index.d.ts file in the root to work in your project and you can use on the fly

First I just want to thank you for providing this kind of work. I am pretty new in typescript and I am practising in the environment. I just wanted to make things work like in vanilla javascript that's why I used nodemon for live reloading. There are build commands which compile typescript to javascript in npm scripts but are there any option for vscode to run compiled program in development server. I used
npm run build:watch in the first terminal and in second one nodemon /build/src/main.js it is working but I just want to be sure is that the way you are working or are there any downside of this approach, thanks.

Thanks for creating this great template to help save tons of time configuring node typescript.

In the test code, the import statement contains the .js extension import { Delays, greeter } from '../src/main.js';, is there a way to get rid of the extension and make it simply import { Delays, greeter } from '../src/main';?

Hi, do you have any plan to update dependencies automatically using renovate bot? It's free for github repos.

I see that the package.json includes tsutils as a dev dependency, but even after reading the module's README, I have no idea what is does.

And since I don't see it being used / imported anywhere in the project, I've been wondering what it was used for ?

When I'm trying to work with path package and access some files in the main.ts file it doesn't build well. In the build paths are related to the build/main.js file. But files are in the src directory. I'm new in the node.js, I can't find solution on the Internet. Sorry for the stupif question

Is it possible to debug typescript code in webstorm?

hi,

i'm quite sure that you made a typo in setTimeout call in main.ts.
i'm sending a PR to fix that.

Hi,
Can you add your vscode settings and launch to git? Do you have a debug and tests - debug configurations you can share ?
Great repo!

Hi there,

In main.ts, starting on L26, there is the following comment:

// Below are examples of using ESLint errors suppression
// Here it is suppressing a missing return type definition for the greeter function.

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/explicit-module-boundary-types

I was really confused because after removing the comment, VSCode didn't raise an error in the line containing the function signature. I looked into .eslintrc.json and found the corresponding ESLint plugin defined and also 2 extensions from that plugin, leading me to assume that the rule (explicit-module-boundary-types) was already activated, especially considering the fact that you use it as an example in your boilerplate code. After explicitly activating the rule via the rules field, it started working as intended.

I think it would more sense to use a different, i.e. activated-out-of-the-box, rule as an example for ESLint error suppression examples.

When running on Windows I found two problems with tslint, with pretty easy fixes:

1. single quotes can't be used

Easy fix in package.json:
BEFORE:

"lint": "tslint -t stylish --type-check --project 'tsconfig.json'",

AFTER:

"lint": "tslint -t stylish --type-check --project \"tsconfig.json\"",

2. CRLF causing linting errors

Easy fix in tslint.json
ADD:

"linebreak-style": false

Sigh, windows...

nodejs can not resolve file using esm without file extention, how to resolve this problem

I love your project, but it would be great if we could use Yarn since it's faster for dependency management.

It seems that jest is hanging for some reason on the current version of the repo.

I am using node v10.15.3 and npm 6.4.1

When I delete all example code I'm getting the following error:

Cannot read tslint configuration - 'Failed to load d:\Coding\management-pannel\tslint.json: Invalid "extends" configuration value - could not require "tslint-microsoft-contrib/recommended". Review the Node lookup algorithm (https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_all_together) for the approximate method TSLint uses to find the referenced configuration file.'tslint(1)

Is this only on my side or is there sth. broken?

//Edit: Even with the vanilla boilerplate I'm getting this error

What is the purpose of

"lib": ["ES2022"],

in the tsconfig file?

If it isn't needed can it be removed as it seems to cause the following build errors with node-fetch:

Like, Should I publish typescript source, or compiled js and dts, or both ? Should it build before publish or before install ? What should be added to npmignore ?
