Features

• Fast: All templates use either esbuild or SWC to compile and build TypeScript. Both are extremely fast and are used by tools like Vite (esbuild) and Next.js (SWC).

• Lint and code format: All templates use eslint to identify problems in the code and prettier to ensure consistent code formatting. Both are integrated with husky and lint-staged to automatically run them before every commit you make with git.

• Tests: To encourage the use of tests, all templates already have a pre-configured unit testing setup with Vitest. The API templates also come with end-to-end usage example tests, including all utility tools like Supertest and Faker.js.
