Create

Setup typescript for a basic nodejs project

npm init --scope=@chrisguest75 -y   
npm install typescript @types/node ts-node nodemon rimraf --save-dev  

# get typescript version
./node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc --version 

# create tsconfig.json
npx tsc --init --rootDir src --outDir build \
--esModuleInterop --resolveJsonModule --lib es6 \
--module commonjs --allowJs true --noImplicitAny true

Add a nodemonConfig to package.json

  "nodemonConfig": {
    "watch": ["src", "nodemon.json", "tsconfig.json", "package.json"],
    "ext": "ts",
    "ignore": [],
    "exec": "ts-node ./src/index.ts"
  }

#run
Copy the template ./src folder to the new project
```sh
cp ./src ../xx_project_name

Copy over the package.json scripts

  "scripts": {
    "build": "rimraf ./build && tsc",
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .ts",
    "start:dev": "nodemon",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },

#add the nodemon.json and run
npm run start:dev
