## What it is
A set of preset tsconfig. base configurations for TypeScript projects, packaged as an npm library that you extend via the 'extends' field. It encodes the recommended compiler options from Matt Pocock's TSConfig Cheat Sheet for apps, libraries, and monorepos across tsc and bundler workflows.

## Use cases
- set up tsconfig. for a new TypeScript project
- find the right TypeScript compiler options for a Vite or bundler-based app
- configure a TypeScript library for npm publishing
- share consistent tsconfig settings across a monorepo
- avoid manually picking strictness and module options in TypeScript

## When to choose
- you want sane, opinionated TypeScript compiler defaults without studying every flag
- you're starting an app or library and don't know which tsconfig options matter
- you want one source of truth for tsconfig across multiple packages

## When to avoid
- you need framework-specific compiler options not covered by the presets
- your team already maintains its own carefully tuned tsconfig
- you need configs for non-TypeScript tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: configuration-management, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, programming-languages
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: typescript, tsconfig, preset-configs, compiler-options, nodejs
