Will Slappey support TypeScript?
Soon
Slappey now supports TypeScript as of 6/1/2020!
You must have TypeScript installed. However, if you don't, during the installation process, if you selected TypeScript, Slappey will ask you if you would like to install TypeScript, ts-node, and setup a basic tsconfig.json file. If you enter n (no), you will have to install these manually.
ts-node is a TypeScript interpreter for Node.JS, the dev script uses it along with nodemon, so be sure you have nodemon installed.
Otherwise, if you have TypeScript installed, you can skip this part and just run npm run build
and then npm run start
