Chatty

Getting started

• npm run build builds everything into ./dist folder
• npm run dev starts server in dev and watch mode => restarts on code changes
• npm run test runs all tests

Setup notes

Build - tsconfig.json

• CommonJS is used for module-option => Jest and some other libs don't play yet well together with ES2020/ESNext.
• Build excludes spec files "./src/**/*.spec.ts". Otherwise, jest would run tests twice, once for ts files and once for transpiled js files. Besides we don't want test files included to ./dist

Dev

Nodemon is used together with ts-node. See nodemon.json configuration relating to exec command and which files to include and ignore.

Test

• ts-jest is used with jest in order to support TypeScript. ts-jest is added as a preset in jest.config.js
• Api/integration testing uses supertest: https://github.com/ladjs/supertest.
