## What it is
A zero-config starter kit for building TypeScript libraries, bundling Rollup, Jest, Prettier, TSLint, TypeDoc, and semantic release tooling into one template. Cloning and running npm install yields a ready-to-publish npm package with typings, tests, and CI setup.

## Use cases
- create a new typescript library
- bootstrap an npm package with typescript
- typescript library template with rollup and jest
- set up automated releases for a typescript package
- generate type declarations and docs for a library
- starter project with tslint and prettier preconfigured

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included TypeScript library scaffold with build, test, lint, and release automation out of the box
- you prefer zero-config setup over assembling tooling yourself

## When to avoid
- you need modern tooling like Vite, tsup, ESLint, or pnpm workspaces, since this template uses older tools like TSLint and Travis
- you are building an application rather than a reusable library
- you need actively maintained templates - the last release was 2022

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: build-tool, testing, linter, formatter, ci-cd, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, programming-languages, tutorials
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: typescript, starter-kit, rollup, jest, prettier, semantic-release, library-template, zero-config, boilerplate, nodejs
