This is a project template to fork off into a new web application. It defines a project skeleton for a simple monorepo containing a backend, a frontend, and a shared library, with a base configuration for tooling (IDE, build, formatting, etc.). This version does not provide configuration for any frontend framework or library. See branches in this repository for more specific configurations.

• Yarn - Version Manager
  • Using plug and play, zero installs, and workspaces features
• Webpack - Build tool / Bundler
  • Config file written in ts, which requires ts-node and tsconfig-paths
• VS Code - IDE
• Prettier - Code Formatting

Yarn provides special SDK for VS Code to use the correct typescript, prettier, and eslint versions. This may need to be re-run on clone.

yarn dlx @yarnpkg/sdks vscode

• Add ES Lint default configuration
• Add additional branches for more specific configurations

The following are known improvements that may be possible on future tool updates.

Typescript doesn't have support yet for the exports field in package.json. When support for this is added, the shared library can be configured to break up relevant pieces and create more descriptive and deliberate imports.

See [microsoft/TypeScript#35290]

ts-node does not support ESM import syntax. It is needed for writing webpack config in typescript. If this is fixed in the future, the webpack-config.tsconfig.json file could be removed as well as tsconfig-paths.
