TypeScript Package (tsp)

TypeScript Package (tsp), scaffolds and build Typescript sources to EcmaScript modules and publish them as modular packages to NPM or JSR.

Features :

It uses tsc to compile from ts to js and check errors
Generates .d.ts to keep types when used
Scaffold new packages in 1 minute
Testing lib pre-installed, can also use your own or skip tests
Generating size report as SVG for README.md inclusion ( ex : )
Compatible with latest Node / Bun / Deno and all bundlers with ecma specification
Publishing under .js and .d.ts helps having better performances in your projects ( typescript is faster ), event if Bun or Deno support Typescript by default.

Check example on NPM and GitHub

Init a new TypeScript Package

First, create the associated git repository for your package and clone it ( optional ).

Then, run this command in the cloned directory. :

npx @reflex-stack/tsp init

If you create this package in a mono-repo, cd in the correct repository before running this command. The subdirectory is important for package.json and size report generation.

Created files

This will ask some questions and create those files. It contains 1 submodule example and a simple test implementation.

├─ dist/
├─ src/
│  ├─ submodule
│  │  └─ index.ts
│  └─ index.ts
├─ tests/
│  └─ test.js
│  └─ tsconfig.json ( to have correct typings in test.js )
├─ .gitignore
├─ .npmignore
├─ LICENSE ( if MIT )
├─ package.json
├─ package-lock.json
├─ README.md
└─ tsconfig.json

Available commands

Build sources

npm run build

Will clear ./dist, build sources from .ts files to .js and .d.ts files.
Will generate size report and generate ./reports directory with JSON and SVG files.

Run npm run build --noSizeReport to skip size report entirely.

Test

npm run test

Will clear ./dist, build sources and run tests. No size report.

Publish

npm run publish

Will clear ./dist, build sources, run tests, and start publish process. This will ask you how to upgrade package.json version, push to git and npm.

Size report

TSP can generate size reports with brotli compression. It generate :

2 svgs for root module
2 svgs by submodule
2 svgs for total if you have submodules

There are 2 svgs generated, for dark and light mode, to be included in the README.md, on GitHub and NPM.

When scaffolded, an example of SVG inclusion is generated in README.md

How to include the size report in README.md ?

Main bundle is <picture style="display: inline-block"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="./reports/main-dark.svg"><img src="./reports/main-light.svg"></picture>,
submodule is <picture style="display: inline-block"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="./reports/submodule-dark.svg"><img src="./reports/submodule-light.svg"></picture>,
total is <picture style="display: inline-block"><source media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" srcset="./reports/total-dark.svg"><img src="./reports/total-light.svg"></picture>

Which renders to

Main bundle is , submodule is , total is

Those works in GitHub and NPM. This can be disabled in package.json at tsp.generate-svg-report

TSP can also generate a json size report if needed ( default is set to false )

TSP config

TSP config is in the generated package.json under the "tsp" node

{
  "tsp": {
	// Can set to "bun" or "deno" 
	"runtime": "node",
	// If you change them, you should update tsconfig.json file
	"src": './src',
	"dist": './dist',
	"tests": './tests',
	"tmp": './tmp',
	// Add your test files here
	"test-files": ['test.js'],
	// Where size reports are generated
	"reports": './reports',
	"generate-json-report": false,
	"generate-svg-report": true
  },
}
