TypeScript

Associated epic(s): #4

Configure TypeScript, the typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
This is the main language on which arctic will be built.
Like documented in the „Gatsby“ design concept, it will be used in combination with Gatsby later on with the gatsby-plugin-typescript plugin.

Note that TypeScript is only used as linter/validator and not as compiler. The actual compiler is Babel that is configured and used through Gatsby.

Configuration

The root project will provide the main tsconfig for all packages and the website itself.

Package script

To allow to run the TypeScript linting separately a lint:ts package script will be added that'll also be run through the main lint script flow.

Tasks

• Implement the root tsconfig.json file.
• Implement the package lint:ts script.
