typescript-project-template

Install with npm install --global tpt.

Run tpt init <project-name> in a blank directory where you would like to initialize a typescript project named <project-name>.

Builds to commonjs for node; es6 modules for tools like rollup.js, webpack, and for the future; to umd and an iife, both for the browser; and to commonjs for the inline .test.ts files.

Here are the corresponding package.json "starting point" properties:

  "main": "./dist/cjs/index.js",        // commonjs, for node or any other cjs environmen

  "module": "./dist/esm/index.js",      // es6 modules, for node with the `--experimental-modules` 
                                        // flag (TODO: change file extensions to .mjs); or for
                                        // rollup.js/webpack consumption.

  "source": "./src/index.ts",           // preserve the original typescript source for generated 
                                        // source maps, debugging, and reference.

  "browser": "./dist/browser/index.js", // UMD for the browser via rollup.js

  "bundle": "./dist/browser/bundle.js", // made this one up; contains everything (including imported modules)
                                        // bundled up into one file. One can directly include with 
                                        // <script src=".../bundle.js"></script>.

So, you can require or import, or in the bundle case directly reference by global definition. Further, all type information is preserved in the published module, so more typescript modules can consume it as native ts.
