!Module

ts

TypesScript build, prepare and publish toolchain.

Provides:

- Command line for building, linting, preparing for publish and ultimately publishing.
- Produces CommonJS and modern ESM transpiled builds.
- Publishes to NPM from the distribution older, removing unnecesary pathing into the module from consumers (eg. '@my-modules/lib/... is avoided).




Commands


Adds the ts command to your module's bin. You can optionally use the following scripts in you package.json:

`json
{
"scripts: {
"test": "ts test",
"tdd": "ts test --watch",
"lint": "ts lint",
"build": "ts build",
"prepare": "ts prepare",
}
}
`

To build without ESM module compilation:

`json
{
"scripts: {
"build": "ts build --no-esm",
}
}
`




ESModules


When setting the main of package.json make sure to not include the .js file extensions allowing environments that as using ESModule's to infer the .msj version.

`json
{
"name": "my-module",
"main": "index",
"types": "index.d.ts"
}
``
