• ESLint with some initial rules recommendation
• Jest for fast unit testing and code coverage
• Type definitions for Node.js and Jest
• Prettier to enforce consistent code style
• NPM scripts for common operations
• simple example of TypeScript code and unit test
• .editorconfig for consistent file format
• example configuration for GitHub Actions and Travis CI

🤲 Free as in speech: available under the APLv2 license.

• clean - remove coverage data, Jest cache and transpiled files,
• build - transpile TypeScript to ES6,
• build:watch - interactive watch mode to automatically transpile source files,
• lint - lint source files and tests,
• test - run tests,
• test:watch - interactive watch mode to automatically re-run tests

Writing unit tests in TypeScript can sometimes be troublesome and confusing. Especially when mocking dependencies and using spies.

This is optional, but if you want to learn how to write JavaScript tests for TypeScript modules, read the corresponding wiki page.
