    Alias to `tsx`

  • Next, I thought well nx is not gonna work for now, so let's keep looking for an alternative to ts-node. Oh look, there is this https://github.com/esbuild-kit/tsx. It natively understands path aliases, no need for any flags. Oh wait...it doesn't do any type checking like ts-node. WHAT? why would anyone execute typescript without type checks during development?.

  • ts-node

    TypeScript execution and REPL for node.js (by geigerzaehler)

  • What worked for me is using the path alias' fork for ts-node. Unfortunately it's a few versions behind, so it doesn't support some things (e.g. type assertions), but it works for general use cases.
