Node.js + TypeScript Boilerplate

Opinionated Node.js and TypeScript boilerplate

🚀 Included

• Node.js and TypeScript, obviously
• ESLint + typescript-eslint for linting
• Prettier for code formatting
• Renovate for automatic dependency updates
• Visual Studio Code workspace config
• Docker support for reproducible builds
• tsup for bundling TypeScript code with esbuild
• Import aliases for simplified imports (by default @/ is aliased to ./src/)
• Vitest for testing

🌱 Inspired By

• Nest.js default project structure
• Starting a TypeScript Project in 2021 by Chris Hager

📦 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/iipanda/node-typescript-boilerplate.git

2. Install pnpm if you haven't already. This project assumes pnpm and won't allow you to install dependencies with other package managers.

3. Install dependencies:

cd node-typescript-boilerplate
pnpm install

🛠 Scripts
