TODO: [Recommended] Write Unit Tests

This template comes with vitest pre-installed. If you've used jest, vitest implements a very similar API.

Tests have been stubbed in index.spec.js, and can be run with npm run test

Typescript has also been included with a basic configuration, and your types can be checked with npm run check
