ts-node-template's Introduction

ts-node-template

This is boilerplate code for creating Typescript projects in a Node environment. After following the instructions you will have the basic functionality to run a Typescript project with ts-node included to your project folder.

Description

This template repo contains basic debug launch configuration for VS Code using index.ts as entry point. If you don't use VS Code as IDE, remove the folder .vscode. The file tsconfig.json includes basic configuration for the Typescript compiler used by ts-node.

Installation

Clone this repo
Initialize npm: npm init -y
Globally install typescript and ts-node: npm i -g typescript ts-node
Install typescript and ts-node as local dev-dependencies: npm i -D typescript ts-node
Launch the scipt via ts-node index.ts

Feel free to remove this README.md file after installation!

ts-node-template's Issues

Error: Cannot use import statement outside a module

I'm trying to initialize and launch this project via following commands:

$  git clone https://github.com/Thomas1664/ts-node-template.git
$ cd ts-node-template
$ npm init -y
$ npm i -D typescript ts-node
$ node ./index.ts

But, as result, I've got an error:

(node:4132010) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

import http from 'http'
