mrnehu/base-typescript repository overview

⁠base-typescript

A base image for TypeScript development.

docker pull mrnehu/base-typescript

⁠Usage

The image comes in two flavors:

• The dev-latest tag defines a just-in-time compilation container, which supports the development workflow by allowing in-place development.
• The prod-latest tag defines an ahead-of-time compilation container, suitable for packaging and distributing an application.
• The latest tag points to prod-latest.

⁠dev-latest - in-container development

The dev-latest tag defines a just-in-time compilation container, which supports the development workflow by allowing in-place development.

This workflow requires mounting your project directory to /opt/app. See docker-compose.dev.yml for an example.

The container assumes the existence of a package.json file with a correct main attribute, and a respective tsconfig.json file. No particular scripts or dependencies are required.

When starting the container, it will concurrently run tsc -w and nodemon to watch for file changes, automatically recompile and restart the application.

⁠prod-latest - AoT compilation

The latest tag defines an ahead-of-time compilation container: the application will be built together with the image.

This workflow requires rebuilding the image each time the source code is modified, but does not require distributing code separately.

The container assumes the existence of a package.json file with the build and start scripts. No particular dependencies are required.

Create your own Dockerfile in your project directory as follows:

FROM mrnehu/base-typescript:prod-latest
COPY . .
RUN yarn install && yarn run build

Then, build your container directly or using docker-compose.
