Transpile main.ts for browser and include jquery or other client libs

[Pradosh Gaonkar]

While the starter project works great, I am little confused about importing jQuery or other npm libraries into main.ts required for browser. Do we need Webpack for it so that it transpires TS files and moves it to public directory? Right now main.ts is in src folder and not copied to public directory.

So this project is aligned with ideas and process setup created for this project:
https://github.com/sahat/hackathon-starter
So the client code in the src/public just gets transpiled using default tsconfig.json and tsc compiler into the relevant dist directory. No additional transpilation or module resolving, etc.
The static assets from 'src/public/js/lib/are copied, the.tsfromsrc/public/jsare transpiled, you should see themain.jsandmain.js.mapthere after runningnpm run build`

Thanks for helpful reply. I ended up using parceljs to bundle js for client side code

Cool, so can we close that one?
