Starter Kit For Full TypeScript

Get to know the Fastly Compute environment with a basic starter that demonstrates the use of the TypeScript compiler tsc.

The functionality of the starter kit is the same as the Default TypeScript starter kit.

For more details about other starter kits for Compute, see the Fastly Documentation Hub

Features

• Implements a prebuild script that calls the TypeScript compiler tsc to transpile to JavaScript.

Understanding the code

This starter requires no dependencies aside from @fastly/js-compute and typescript. It works by calling tsc from the prebuild script in package.json.

The template uses TypeScript to compile source files in ./src into JS files in ./build, which are then wrapped into ./bin/index.wasm using the js-compute-runtime CLI tool bundled with the @fastly/js-compute npm package, and bundled into a .tar.gz file ready for deployment to Compute.

The SDK includes a tsconfig.json file to configure the TypeScript compiler, as well as to aid your IDE in coding support.

Running the application

To create an application using this starter kit, create a new directory for your application and switch to it, and then type the following command:

npm create @fastly/compute@latest -- --language=typescript --starter-kit=full

To build and run your new application in the local development environment, type the following command:

npm run start

To build and deploy your application to your Fastly account, type the following command. The first time you deploy the application, you will be prompted to create a new service in your account.

npm run deploy
