This repository contains the boilerplate package which I use to start most of my smaller Typescript projects. It is "primitive" in that it doesn't have hot module reloading or VSCode integration; instead, it runs the build process using a watcher that enables fast iteration via the command line. This boilerplate is focused on web components, primarily those build with Lit.

Dependencies

Aside from the NodeJS dependencies, this script uses codespell, which is a Python-based spell checker for comments and documentation.

Decisions:

• TSC is still the best analyzer of Typescript's types.
• Scripting ESBuild gives you enormous power.
• Many of the commands have the ${NODE_RUNNER} prefix. If you set export NODE_RUNNER=bun, you can get a huge speedup in building and linting.
• Knip makes sure you're not importing anything you're not using.
• As this is a Lit-focused project, both Lit-Analyzer and WC-Analyzer are included
