Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Finally, a guide for Node.js and TypeScript and ESM that works
I really enjoy frontend/node/typescript development. I roll my eyes whenever the HN-types complain about CSS or frontend development being a hellhole. Mostly the comments I see seem ignorant or impatient ("Why doesn't this thing work without be bothering to learn it?")
However, the intersection of typescript, nodejs, and ES modules is consistently the most frustrating experience I ever have. Trying to figure out which magic incantation of tsconfig/esbuild/tsc/node options will let me just write code and run it is a fools errand. You might figure something out, and then you try to use Jest and then you descend into madness again.
The biggest tip I can give people is to ditch ts-node and just use (the awkwardly named) tsx https://github.com/privatenumber/tsx, which pretty much just "mostly works" for running Typescript during dev for node.
The problem mostly seems to stem for all the stakeholders being pretty dogmatic to whatever their goals are, rather than the pragmatic option of just meeting people where they are. I really wish the Node, Typescript, Deno/Bun, and maybe some bundler people would come together and figure out how to make this easier for people.

ERDIA: TypeORM entity specification documentation tool
If your TypeORM entity is written in TypeScript, you have to run ERDIA using ts-node or tsx as follows.

xtsz - a TS / JS file runner with support for HTTP/S imports
Want to import a package / file conveniently from esm.sh or unpkg or directly from a GitHub repo for a one-off script (for example). To do this I created a custom ESBuild plugin to handle HTTP imports - that worked for ,js files. To support running both ESM and CJS, I use tsx.
-
What is your must have npm package on any given project?
I prefer tsx honestly. Nodemon will detect that your using TypeScript and switch from node to ts-node but tsx is a no config necessary version of ts-node that also runs faster. Of course you can configure ts-node to use swc to be faster but then you're playing with config files to get things working.

Question about debugging TypeScript
I highly recommend you give this a shot over ts-node

Jsx as a general templating language?
Dude I just worked on a PoC a few hours ago. What I did was use ReactDOM's renderToStaticMarkup and tsx to execute the script so I get jsx transpilation on the fly.
-
Thoughts about Deno?
I’ve been trying to adopt Deno into new projects, but I find Node through tsx good enough.
-
Will nodeJs ever have out of the box typescript support?
try tsx. it has support for watch mode and works great with esm module projects.
-
Why is this so hard to do? Help
This is the answer: https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx

<3 Deno
Have a look at https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx
_tsx is a CLI command (alternative to node) for seamlessly running TypeScript & ESM, in both commonjs & module package types.
It's powered by esbuild so it's insanely fast._

is there any real and open "multi project" monorepo?
Here is my version of a monorepo. Two frontends, cli tool, shared libs, extended configs, eslint, all the goodies.

I made a prototype for a .gcode animator. Details in comments.
It would be so perfect to layer on top of my gcode playground

One I learned TypeScript, I took off exploring with things Like building an interpreter for FANUC Macro G code (I used to be a machinist) and a web interface to play with it
- [Question] Setting up monorepo: How be able to debug and build in the same project without changing package.json?
- How do people prefer to setup their paths in their ts-configs? One single ‘src’ sub-module, or several sub-modules? i.e: ‘src’ vs ‘utils’, ‘ui’, ‘models’, etc…
- I wrote a typescript assembly(ish) interpreter in React; criticism and PRs welcome
-
What is your workflow when developing with typescript?
pnpm works great for monorepos
- How do we structure our package.json to prevent Typescript projects from recursively compiling all of our internal modules?
- What do you use to manage TypeScript monorepos with API and front-end?
What are some alternatives?
