This is a short & sweet setup to create Azure Webapps using typescript.
Simply clone/fork this repository, then rename and extend to your hearts content.
To deploy your project, create a default webapp on Azure, then set your git repo as the deployment location in "Deployment Options" in your new webapp.
Use devDependancies for any frontend libraries you are using (these will be packed into the webpack bundle so they don't need to exist in the prod enviroment). Use regular dependancies for any libraries the backend will require.
