Node TypeScript Project

How to create a TypeScript project in Node.js

Big thanks to Jordan Irabor for his article "How To Set Up a Node Project With Typescript" that inspired me a lot for this.

#!/bin/bash

# this is because on my laptop:
# - there is the system 'node' (i.e. used by MS Team for Linux)
# - there is the 'node' I use for development work
export NODE_BIN="/home/mihamina/Apps/node/bin"
export PRJ="ts-project-01"

mkdir ${PRJ}
cd ${PRJ}

# We are inside the project directory, now
${NODE_BIN}/npm init -y
${NODE_BIN}/npm install --save typescript

${NODE_BIN}/npm install --save express
${NODE_BIN}/npm install --save @types/express

mkdir src

cat << MIHAM > src/app.ts
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
const port = 3000;

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
  res.send('Hello World!');
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  return console.log('Express is listening at http://localhost:'+port);
});

${NODE_BIN}/npx tsc

npm run build base-href

Using NPM to specify base-href When building an Angular application, people usually use "ng" and pass arguments to that invocation. Typically, when wanting to hard code "base-href" in "index.html", one will issue: ng build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo' I used to build my angular apps through Bamboo or Jenkins and they have a "npm" plugin. I got the habit to build the application with "npm run build" before deploying it. But the development team once asked me to set the "--base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo'" parameter. npm run build --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo did not set the base href in indext.html After looking for a while, I found https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13560 where it says: You need to use −− to pass arguments to npm scripts. This did the job! The command to issue is then: npm run build -- --base-href='https://ngx.rktmb.org/foo&
