tsdx - Zero-config CLI for TypeScript package development

If you’re into TypeScript, I highly recommend https://tsdx.io . I’ve used it to create a package before and it’s so much easier

Thanks for the insight fellas. Aside question, I was thinking of bootstrapping the project with tsdx, but their last release was well over 2 years ago. Wondering if there are any alternative options for creating libraries?

NOTE: If your project uses TypeScript, I would suggest using tsdx instead.

Sadly, it's a bit dead. We switched to dts-cli fork, but tsup looks good too

I don't depend on the actual typescript docs much but thankfully in @types and in tons of repos there are examples of well written typescript code.

The amount of JS and TS out there is also a bit of a foot gun though so stick with heavily used/starred libs if you aren't sure.

One tool that helps a lot with developing libraries in typescript is TSDX[0] or its successor dts-cli[1] and there is a bunch of good stuff in awesesome-typescript[2].

Maybe library devving is harder?(more work?) with tyepscript but it is worth it for the end developer, especially if that end developer is you. If you aren't using your own libs then you're probably getting paid by someone else to make them or... idk.

We will use a TSDX library - this tool is something similar to create-react-app, but for creating components library. It allows as to initialize a project immediately with already set up bundler, Rollup with Typescript supporting, testing with Jest, code formatter, Prettier and Storybook.

May be you need to try https://tsdx.io/

So what is the ideal way to build TypeScript libraries? I've heard that tsdx https://tsdx.io/ is quite good

There’s tsdx. But I’d recommend using Vite and storybook-vite
