Scripts

• npm run build: build TypeScript sources to dist directory
• npm publish: builds and publishes lib to npmjs.com
• npm test: run tests in ./test directory using tap
• npm run test:watch: watches ./src/ and ./test/ folders and restarts compilation and tests
• npm run test:report: saves test report to out.tap file
• npm run test:reporter: converts out.tap file to junit

External typings augmentation

This starter is already configured to allow you to extend typings of external packages. The logic behind it is based on this official template. To augment a module, just create a folder with the same name as the module you are augmenting and add an index.d.ts in it. Here you can find a real world example.

Automatic Test and Code Coverage

Includes azure-pipelines.yml configuration file. You can build, test and publish code coverage on Azure DevOps for free with GitHub integration for OSS projects.

Dev Dependencies

• husky: runs precommit lint hook
• rimraf: removes lib folder crossplatform
• chokidar-cli: file watcher
• tap: test runner
• tap-mocha-reporter: mocha reporter for tap
• ts-node: runs tests without compiling
• prettier
• eslint
• eslint-config-prettier: makes ESLint work nice with prettier
• typescript
