## What it is
A minimal TypeScript starter project for Node.js with preconfigured build, test, and lint tooling. It serves as a template and companion to a tutorial on setting up a TypeScript project from scratch.

## Use cases
- start a new typescript node project
- typescript project setup with jest and eslint
- minimal typescript boilerplate with hot reloading
- learn how to configure typescript from scratch
- template with prettier and husky pre-commit hooks
- set up nodemon ts-node dev workflow

## When to choose
- you want a bare-bones TypeScript + Node.js starting point without framework opinions
- you need Jest, ESLint, Prettier, and Husky wired up out of the box
- you're following the accompanying tutorial on TypeScript project setup

## When to avoid
- you need a full web framework or application scaffold
- you want a starter with batteries included like CI/CD, Docker, or database tooling
- you need actively maintained dependencies or official support

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, testing, linter, formatter, build-tool
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: typescript, starter-project, boilerplate, jest, eslint, prettier, husky, nodemon, nodejs
