You can use any editor, although I suggest VS Code.
Ensure you have Node.
node -v
v8.11.3
npm -v
5.6.0
Do not use npm ... to add or amend local packages! We use Yarn to manage packages:
npm install --global yarn
yarn -v
1.7.0
Use .editorconfig to standardise IDE configuration for all developers working on the project. In VS Code, install the Editor Config for VS Code extension.
Use TsLint. In VS Code, install the TSLint extension. In particular, we:
- use 'single quotes' for strings
- do not use semicolons to terminate statements
To install/restore packages, run:
yarn
Then, to launch a local instance of the app, run:
yarn dev
To build a distribution / deployment into the dist/ directory:
yarn build
