Compile using tsconfig.json

Video Lecture

Description

We can simplify the transpiling process by using a tsconfig.json

./src/server/tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "outDir": "../../dist/server",
    "strict": true
  },
  "include": ["**/*.ts"]
}

To compile

tsc.cmd -p ./src/server

To serve the JavaScript output file

node dist/server/server.js
