Use TypeScript's watch
mode to continuously check for errors. This will help you see errors without having to wait for the entire project to build.
tsc --watch
Integrate ESLint with TypeScript to catch errors and potential issues in your code as you write it. Here's how to set it up:
-
Install the necessary dependencies:
npm install eslint @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin --save-dev
-
Create or update your
.eslintrc.json
:{ "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser", "parserOptions": { "project": "./tsconfig.json" }, "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"], "extends": [ "eslint:recommended", "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended", "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking" ], "rules": { // Add any custom rules here } }
Next.js provides hot reloading which helps in seeing changes almost immediately without restarting the server.
- ts-node: For running TypeScript directly without compiling.
- Jest: For running tests, including TypeScript tests.
You can create a script in your package.json
to run both TypeScript and ESLint in watch mode concurrently:
{
"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev",
"lint": "eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx --fix",
"tsc": "tsc --noEmit",
"type-check": "tsc --watch",
"start": "concurrently \"npm run dev\" \"npm run type-check\""
}
}
Then run:
npm run start
This will run your development server and TypeScript type checking concurrently, providing immediate feedback on type errors.
