Typescript Node Playground

I want to be able to use Typescript as my shell, with the default node modules available. But with modern features like async await.

Starting a new Typescript project is a bit of a pain, so I wanted to create a playground to quickly try out new ideas.

This repo was the best starting point i could find.

To get started

git clone https://github.com/alinalihassan/top-level-await playground
cd playground
npm install
npm run dev

But even now this still won’t let me use node modules! I added const res = fetch('...') and I got an error:

ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

I had to run npm i node to fix this.

The only thing left now is to make sure your code looks nice - my standard .prettierrc is:

{
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "useTabs": false,
  "printWidth": 120,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "semi": false,
  "trailingComma": "all"
}
