Thank you, Leo.

[@mahendranath2504]

excellent, next time a small suggestion is to increase the font size on VS code editor as its small font hard to focus on your typing , it's a great content 👍

[@CodeDunks]

Yes I apologize, first video I thought for some reason you guys could see what I could. Won't be happening in my future videos. Thanks for the feedback!

[@igdev6095]

Thanks for your video, it's very very helpful for me. But I have a problem, if I delete a file .ts in folder src then ts complier not auto remove it in folder dist. How can I fix that? Thank u so much!

[@CodeDunks]

Just to be sure I understand here, you want the associated deleted file not to be in the dist folder after deleting its source file automatically? Or After you run the build again? Automatically you could maybe look into www.npmjs.com/package/gulp. If build isn't removing them then I would try making your build script something like "build": "rm -rf dist && tsc"

[@marioibarra668]

Leo thanks for a great tutorial. It helps me a lot to understand the set-up. Just one small comment: you need to zoom out. Difficult to see what the names of the files. Thanks again.

[@ММ-ж2з]

great job

[@kadeinvictus1759]

34:23 start: prod uses the "ts-node" and "tsconfig-paths" modules, so in a production environment these modules must be in production dependencies and not in development, right ?

[@CodeDunks]

ts-node and tsconfig-paths shouldn't be production dependencies. If you look at their docs they install them as dev dependencies. You are correct however if you were to try and take this exact project and run it in production and want to use the yarn start as I have configured. The reason for including those in the start was to fix the MODULE_NOT_FOUND issues for local development when trying to run the yarn start but you are right that it isn't necessarily optimized for production. You can look into this article to possibly improve the project from what I have wrote. bgxcode.com/posts/typescript/ts-absolute-import-paths/

[@kadeinvictus1759]

@@CodeDunks thank you, I understood and I was able to implement the second method

[@kolynzb]

Thanks bro

[@scotty8789]

Great video! Learned a lot. Couple things not working for me though. Initially, the auto formatting wasnt working but I was able to fix it by setting prettier as my formatter and enabling format on save within the vscode settings. This seemed to work but when adding dotenv-safe I noticed it would not automatically move the import statement above my add function import. Any ideas why this could be? I followed all your steps exactly except for using npm instead of yarn and using json instead of js for eslintrc

[@scotty8789]

Disabling prettier in vscode as a formatter and enabling eslint as default formatter seems to have fixed it. My code will autoformat with eslint and prettier settings on save. Is this the correct way to set these extensions in my vscode settings?

[@CodeDunks]

@@scotty8789 Hey Scott, so there are a couple of ways to mess with your vscode settings. Either how you did it, or you can play around with the settings.json file, you can find this file by doing CTRL + SHIFT + P and typing in settings, then choose open settings (JSON). Here is a link to my vscode settings I just added it up to by blog-tube repo github.com/leoroese/blog-tube/blob/main/settings.json Hope this helps

[@scotty8789]

@@CodeDunks Thank you!

[@MrYassineSalhi]

How would you add react to this? Every time I try their seems to be clashes

[@CodeDunks]

Hmm this video was mostly focused for backend project setup while React is mostly for frontend.

[@Confusedcapybara8772]

leo, can you share your bashrc? How did you get the git branch names?

[@michrisoft]

Pretty sure that's just from using the git bash shell

[@christofernguyen6282]

Hi, How did you setup the nvm on windows? Great video btw!

[@shiroclown6131]

Appreciate this but 720p is just not clear enough. Maybe increase the fonts size?

[@dungam9402]

only one thing to complain please zoom the screen bigger :'(

[@fooked1]

Thanks for the video. I noticed you added tsconfig-paths, but I don't think you covered what it does or how to use it. Can you describe what value it brings into the configs you setup?

[@KunalMukherjee3701]

Record in 1080p

[@talhaklaib4016]

awesome, but please zoom in your screen a little bet

[@y_thedreamer95]

Didn't like the quality at 720p but there is no more videos about it so thanks anyway.

Ohhh shit windows. I can't code on windows too hard. Cmd is a crap. Linux is just better in my opinion
