Can’t start project with Babel and TypeScript? Here’s how to fix it

If you’re a TypeScript developer working on a new project and you’re encountering issues when trying to start your project with Babel, you’re not alone. This problem can be frustrating, but fear not, as there are solutions available to help you get your project up and running smoothly. In this article, we’ll explore a couple of possible solutions to this problem.

Solution 1: Install necessary dependencies

The first solution involves installing the necessary dependencies to ensure that Babel and TypeScript work together seamlessly. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Make sure you have Babel and TypeScript installed in your project by running the following commands:

npm install --save-dev @babel/core @babel/preset-env @babel/preset-typescript
npm install --save-dev typescript

2. Create a .babelrc file in the root of your project and add the following configuration:

{
  "presets": [
    "@babel/preset-env",
    "@babel/preset-typescript"
  ]
}

3. Update your tsconfig.json file to include the following configuration:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "allowJs": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true
  }
}

4. Now, you should be able to start your project with Babel and TypeScript successfully.

Solution 2: Use ts-node instead

If the first solution doesn’t work for you or you prefer an alternative approach, you can try using ts-node instead of Babel. Here’s how:

1. Install ts-node as a development dependency by running the following command:

npm install --save-dev ts-node

2. Update your package.json file to include the following scripts:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node src/index.ts"
  }
}

3. Now, you can start your project by running the following command:

npm start

With these solutions, you should be able to start your project with Babel and TypeScript without any issues. Choose the solution that works best for your specific needs and get back to coding!
