TypeScript Default Lib

Install (latest) versions of a standard dependency set for TypeScript + Node.js backends.

Quick start

• Run the installer from your project root (must contain package.json):
  • bash /home/harry/.codex/skills/typescript-default-lib/scripts/install_default_libs.sh
  • Add Prisma scaffolding too: bash /home/harry/.codex/skills/typescript-default-lib/scripts/install_default_libs.sh --init-prisma

What gets installed

Dependencies

• p-map
• p-retry

Dev dependencies

Manual install commands (no script)

Use these if you don’t want to run the script:

• npm

  • npm i p-map p-retry luxon lodash-es winston ioredis express dotenv @prisma/client
  • npm i -D prisma rimraf tsc-alias @types/express @types/lodash-es
  • npx prisma init (optional)

• pnpm

  • pnpm add p-map p-retry luxon lodash-es winston ioredis express dotenv @prisma/client
  • pnpm add -D prisma rimraf tsc-alias @types/express @types/lodash-es
  • pnpm prisma init (optional)

• yarn

  • yarn add p-map p-retry luxon lodash-es winston ioredis express dotenv @prisma/client
  • yarn add -D prisma rimraf tsc-alias @types/express @types/lodash-es
  • yarn prisma init (optional)

Notes / gotchas

• p-map, p-retry, and lodash-es are ESM-first; avoid compiling your app to CommonJS unless you plan to use dynamic import() or switch to TS module settings compatible with ESM (e.g. NodeNext/Bundler).
• Prisma best practice: keep prisma as a dev dependency; ship @prisma/client as a runtime dependency.
• tsc-alias is useful when you compile with tsc and rely on paths aliases; run it after tsc to rewrite emitted import paths.
