igents - Basic TypeScript App Generator

igents is a simple command-line tool to generate a basic TypeScript app. The generator automatically sets up a basic TypeScript project, complete with a TypeScript compilation configuration file and an example file to get you started.

Using the generator

To generate a new TypeScript project, open your terminal in the folder where you want to create your project and type the following command:

igents

This command will create a new project and automatically set up a basic TypeScript project inside it.

What's in the basic TypeScript project

The basic TypeScript project set up by the generator contains the following files:

• tsconfig.json: A basic TypeScript compilation configuration file.
• src/index.ts: A TypeScript example file that logs a greeting message to the console.

You can modify the src/index.ts file to start writing your TypeScript code.

Scripts

The following scripts are available for use in the project:

• dev: Runs the project in development mode using ts-node-dev.
• build: Compiles the TypeScript code into JavaScript.

To use these scripts, open your terminal in the project folder and type the following command:

Running in Development Mode

To run the project in development mode, type the following command:

pnpm run dev

This will run the project using ts-node-dev, which will automatically restart the server when changes are made.

Compiling the TypeScript code

To compile the TypeScript code, type the following command:

pnpm run build

This will compile the TypeScript code and create a JavaScript file in the dist folder.

You can then run the JavaScript file using the following command:

node dist/index.js

Conclusion

That's it! You now have a basic TypeScript project set up with two handy scripts for development and building. Happy coding!
