build a website in typescript

To build a website in TypeScript, follow these steps:

1. Install Node.js on your computer if you haven't already done so. You can download it from the official website: https://nodejs.org/

2. Create a new project directory for your website and navigate to it in your terminal or command prompt.

3. Initialize a new Node.js project by running the following command:

index.ts
npm init -y

2 lines

4. Install the necessary TypeScript dependencies by running the following command:

index.ts
npm install typescript ts-node @types/node --save-dev
54 chars
2 lines

5. Create a new "src" directory inside your project directory.

6. Create a new TypeScript file inside the "src" directory. For example, you could create a file called "index.ts" with the following code:

index.ts
import http from 'http';

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.end('Hello, world!');
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server listening on port 3000');
});

7. Add a new script to the "scripts" section of your package.json file that will allow you to run your TypeScript code directly using the ts-node command:

{
  "name": "my-website",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node ./src/index.ts"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^14.0.0",
    "ts-node": "^8.0.2",
    "typescript": "^3.5.3"
  }
}

8. Start your server by running the following command:

index.ts
npm run start

9. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see your "Hello, world!" message.

These steps provide a basic template for building a website in TypeScript. You can continue with building the frontend of your website using a frontend library such as React, or a frontend framework like Angular.
