Simplest node.js + typescript setup (including path aliases 🤗)

Link: node.js-starter

Some time ago I was developing a reminder bot for telegram, and I wanted to use node.js, typescript, and path allies to better imports view.

If you don’t know what path aliases are look at that example:

As you can see, it allows you to make your import’s path looks pretty 🥰.

So I decided to share my node.js project setup which you can find flowing this URL https://github.com/JustEugen/nodejs-starter. You can find more detailed instructions on how to use it, inside of repository README.

Features of my starter:

• Typescript;
• Path aliases using module-alias;
• ESlint;
• Prettier;
• Support .env files using dotenv package;
• File watcher with nodemon (when you change code it will automatically rebuild your project);
• Easy to use and easy to start.
