ts-node: Execute a TypeScript file without loading `tsconfig.json`.
$ ts-node --skip-project ${filename-ts}
try on your machine

The command "ts-node --skip-project ${filename-ts}" runs a typescript file using the ts-node package, while skipping the project's configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • ts-node: It is a package that allows you to directly run TypeScript files without the need for compilation.
  • --skip-project: This flag tells ts-node to skip reading the project's default configuration file (usually tsconfig.json). It is useful when you want to run a file without applying any project-specific TypeScript settings.
  • ${filename-ts}: This is a placeholder indicating the name of the TypeScript file you want to run. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual name of your file, including the .ts extension.

To use this command, you would replace ${filename-ts} with the actual name of your TypeScript file and execute it in your terminal or command prompt. The ts-node package will then execute the specified file using TypeScript.
