TypeScript NodeJS Boilerplate ESM

To use this boilerplate, either clone it using git clone, download it as ZIP or use GitHub Repository Import.

The following are configured:

TypeScript
Yarn
Jest
ESLINT
Custom base path starting from src/. Example: import { hi } from 'models/testfile'
Auto reload with nodemon and building with webpack
Prettier

And the following scripts:

build - compiles source code into JS, outputs to dist
test - runs tests using Jest
start - compiles the server, then uses node to run it from the compiled files
dev - runs the server in dev mode, and automatically refreshes
lint - runs ESLint

Motivation

Using some libraries you could be forced to migrate your tsconfig.json from commonJS to ESM. In example, chalk.

We can solve this problem in two ways:

Downgrade specific library to be compatible with commonJS (use require internally)
Using tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin
