@wat.ts/build NPM

wat.ts

wat.ts is a Web Application Toolkit for TypeScript.

It is a collection of packages usable together or separately to make it easier to create powerful, modern web applications with minimal configuration.

Getting started

The quickest way to get started with wat.ts is to create a new, empty project:

npx @wat.ts/new my-app

This will produce a new project with support for TypeScript, CSS and SCSS with automatic vendor prefixing and module support, hot module reloading, and polyfills for a few important features like Promises, Map, and Set.

You can also create a project that uses React for rendering:

npx @wat.ts/new my-app --template react

New projects come with a Makefile. Rather than complex JavaScript task runners or dumping your build process in package.json, wat.ts encourages the use of make for straightforward builds.

To start your project and hot reload all changes:

make serve

Your project will be accessible at http://localhost:8080/ by default.

When you are ready to deploy your project, build it for release:

make

This will optimize all assets for production, add content hashes to asset file names for easy far-future caching, and create a manifest.json file that maps local asset file names to their final built names.
