Simple Starter for TypeScript Development with Visual Studio Code

This repository contains a simple but ready-to-use configuration for developing with TypeScript in Visual Studio Code:

• TypeScript (2.7) is locally installed and configured:
  • source folder is set to src/
  • output folder is set to dist/ (including source maps)
  • target is set to es6 (NodeJS 8)
  • strict mode is enabled
• VSCode (Default) Task Configuration build for compiling the source files to dist/
• VSCode Debug Configuration Run Main Application for debugging the compiled application. Before the app is launched, it's compiled using the build task
• For formatting source code, Prettier in installed and enabled with line-length set to 130 (you might want to add Prettier VSCode extension)

yarn tasks

• yarn run clean: removes the dist folder
• yarn run build: compiles TSCode from src to dist
• yarn watch: build in watch mode: watch for changes in src and compile to dist
• yarn start: runs the compiled application from dist
• yarn prettier: re-formats all source code in src
