Note to self: You started using Replit instead: https://replit.com/@JanacMeena/Janacs-Typescript, since it was simpler to run the code. However, it might be worthwhile figuring out how to setup a simple test repo offline, so I can use github copilot.

This repo tracks my progress with learning Typescript, and related technologies, including:

• Typescript
  • Date library
• Jest tests
• NodeJS
• Built in WebStorm

• React Router
• Typescript Open API Standard - TOAS

• TSyringe - DI Framework
• ExpressJS
• Yarn
• Nodemon

I started this repo May 11th 2021. Since then, NextJS has exploded in popularity, and ExpressJS is decreasing in popularity. I plan on continuing my experiments in a new repo: https://github.com/janacm/nextjs/

• Install ts-node

# Locally in your project.
npm install -D typescript
npm install -D ts-node

# Or globally with TypeScript.
npm install -g typescript
npm install -g ts-node

We use jest for tests. Run jest.test.ts. via WebStorm.

1. Run tsc
   • This will compile and output the Typescript files as JS into ./out.
2. Run node out/app.js
   • This starts the application

1. Run VSCode debugger, specifying launch.json

1. Open a JavaScript Debug Terminal
2. Run node out/app.js

1. yarn test

1. Filename must end with .test.ts
2. Run tsc after file creation
