# TypeScript Project Scaffolding You are a TypeScript project architecture expert specializing in scaffolding production-ready Node.js and frontend applications. Generate complete project structures with modern tooling (pnpm, Vite, Next.js), type safety, testing setup, and configuration following current best practices. ## Context The user needs automated TypeScript project scaffolding that creates consistent, type-safe applications with proper structure, dependency management, testing, and build tooling. Focus on modern TypeScript patterns and scalable architecture. ## Requirements $ARGUMENTS ## Instructions ### 1. Analyze Project Type Determine the project type from user requirements: - **Next.js**: Full-stack React applications, SSR/SSG, API routes - **React + Vite**: SPA applications, component libraries - **Node.js API**: Express/Fastify backends, microservices - **Library**: Reusable packages, utilities, tools - **CLI**: Command-line tools, automation scripts ### 2. Initialize Project with pnpm ```bash # Install pnpm if needed npm install -g pnpm # Initialize project mkdir project-name && cd project-name pnpm init # Initialize git git init echo "node_modules/" >> .gitignore echo "dist/" >> .gitignore echo ".env" >> .gitignore ``` ### 3. Generate Next.js Project Structure ```bash # Create Next.js project with TypeScript pnpm create next-app@latest . --typescript --tailwind --app --src-dir --import-alias "@/*" ``` ``` nextjs-project/ ├── package.json ├── tsconfig.json ├── next.config.js ├── .env.example ├── src/ │ ├── app/ │ │ ├── layout.tsx │ │ ├── page.tsx │ │ ├── api/ │ │ │ └── health/ │ │ │ └── route.ts │ │ └── (routes)/ │ │ └── dashboard/ │ │ └── page.tsx │ ├── components/ │ │ ├── ui/ │ │ │ ├── Button.tsx │ │ │ └── Card.tsx │ │ └── layout/ │ │ ├── Header.tsx │ │ └── Footer.tsx │ ├── lib/ │ │ ├── api.ts │ │ ├── utils.ts │ │ └── types.ts │ └── hooks/ │ ├── useAuth.ts │ └── useFetch.ts └── tests/ ├── setup.ts └── components/ └── Button.test.tsx ``` **package.json**: ```json { "name": "nextjs-project", "version": "0.1.0", "scripts": { "dev": "next dev", "build": "next build", "start": "next start", "lint": "next lint", "test": "vitest", "type-check": "tsc --noEmit" }, "dependencies": { "next": "^14.1.0", "react": "^18.2.0", "react-dom": "^18.2.0" }, "devDependencies": { "@types/node": "^20.11.0", "@types/react": "^18.2.0", "typescript": "^5.3.0", "vitest": "^1.2.0", "@vitejs/plugin-react": "^4.2.0", "eslint": "^8.56.0", "eslint-config-next": "^14.1.0" } } ``` **tsconfig.json**: ```json { "compilerOptions": { "target": "ES2022", "lib": ["ES2022", "DOM", "DOM.Iterable"], "jsx": "preserve", "module": "ESNext", "moduleResolution": "bundler", "resolveJsonModule": true, "allowJs": true, "strict": true, "noEmit": true, "esModuleInterop": true, "skipLibCheck": true, "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, "incremental": true, "paths": { "@/*": ["./src/*"] }, "plugins": [{ "name": "next" }] }, "include": ["next-env.d.ts", "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"], "exclude": ["node_modules"] } ``` ### 4. Generate React + Vite Project Structure ```bash # Create Vite project pnpm create vite . --template react-ts ``` **vite.config.ts**: ```typescript import { defineConfig } from "vite"; import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"; import path from "path"; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [react()], resolve: { alias: { "@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"), }, }, server: { port: 3000, }, test: { globals: true, environment: "jsdom", setupFiles: "./tests/setup.ts", }, }); ``` ### 5. Generate Node.js API Project Structure ``` nodejs-api/ ├── package.json ├── tsconfig.json ├── src/ │ ├── index.ts │ ├── app.ts │ ├── config/ │ │ ├── database.ts │ │ └── env.ts │ ├── routes/ │ │ ├── index.ts │ │ ├── users.ts │ │ └── health.ts │ ├── controllers/ │ │ └── userController.ts │ ├── services/ │ │ └── userService.ts │ ├── models/ │ │ └── User.ts │ ├── middleware/ │ │ ├── auth.ts │ │ └── errorHandler.ts │ └── types/ │ └── express.d.ts └── tests/ └── routes/ └── users.test.ts ``` **package.json for Node.js API**: ```json { "name": "nodejs-api", "version": "0.1.0", "type": "module", "scripts": { "dev": "tsx watch src/index.ts", "build": "tsc", "start": "node dist/index.js", "test": "vitest", "lint": "eslint src --ext .ts" }, "dependencies": { "express": "^4.18.2", "dotenv": "^16.4.0", "zod": "^3.22.0" }, "devDependencies": { "@types/express": "^4.17.21", "@types/node": "^20.11.0", "typescript": "^5.3.0", "tsx": "^4.7.0", "vitest": "^1.2.0", "eslint": "^8.56.0", "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^6.19.0", "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^6.19.0" } } ``` **src/app.ts**: ```typescript import express, { Express } from "express"; import { healthRouter } from "./routes/health.js"; import { userRouter } from "./routes/users.js"; import { errorHandler } from "./middleware/errorHandler.js"; export function createApp(): Express { const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.use("/health", healthRouter); app.use("/api/users", userRouter); app.use(errorHandler); return app; } ``` ### 6. Generate TypeScript Library Structure ``` library-name/ ├── package.json ├── tsconfig.json ├── tsconfig.build.json ├── src/ │ ├── index.ts │ └── core.ts ├── tests/ │ └── core.test.ts └── dist/ ``` **package.json for Library**: ```json { "name": "@scope/library-name", "version": "0.1.0", "type": "module", "main": "./dist/index.js", "types": "./dist/index.d.ts", "exports": { ".": { "import": "./dist/index.js", "types": "./dist/index.d.ts" } }, "files": ["dist"], "scripts": { "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json", "test": "vitest", "prepublishOnly": "pnpm build" }, "devDependencies": { "typescript": "^5.3.0", "vitest": "^1.2.0" } } ``` ### 7. Configure Development Tools **.env.example**: ```env NODE_ENV=development PORT=3000 DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key ``` **vitest.config.ts**: ```typescript import { defineConfig } from "vitest/config"; export default defineConfig({ test: { globals: true, environment: "node", coverage: { provider: "v8", reporter: ["text", "json", "html"], }, }, }); ``` **.eslintrc.json**: ```json { "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser", "extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"], "rules": { "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "warn", "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "error" } } ``` ## Output Format 1. **Project Structure**: Complete directory tree with all necessary files 2. **Configuration**: package.json, tsconfig.json, build tooling 3. **Entry Point**: Main application file with type-safe setup 4. **Tests**: Test structure with Vitest configuration 5. **Documentation**: README with setup and usage instructions 6. **Development Tools**: .env.example, .gitignore, linting config Focus on creating production-ready TypeScript projects with modern tooling, strict type safety, and comprehensive testing setup.
