Development tools folder

What is this development tool good for ?

This folder provides a small script that simplifies the TypeScript app development process. More precisely, this script will:

  1. build the project
  2. start a tiny HTTP server
  3. open a Web browser and start the application from the tiny HTTP server
  4. watch TypeScript source files to incrementally rebuild the application whenever a source file changes

So when you perform any change to the source code, all you have to do is to save the TypeScript file and press reload on the Web browser. The watcher will take care of recompiling the application under the hood.

How to use it ?

Simply start:

npm run app-server

The two files below are generated when the tiny web server is started:
