Initialize Project

npm init

npm i express

Install Typescript

npm i -D typescript

Add typescript config file, for that we will use the below given command.

tsc --init

In the tsconfig.json file, remove the comments on the rootDir option and modify it, to set src as root directory for typescript.

"rootDir": "./src"

Similarly, do this for outDir option as well

"outDir": "./dist",

Install Eslint

npm i -D eslint@9.14.0 @eslint/js @types/eslint__js typescript typescript-eslint

Now eslint.config.mjs file in the root of the project directory will be created.

npx eslint --init

At this point you may see that your version of eslint: "^9.14.0" has been changed to eslint: "^9.15.0"

if that happens remove the eslint : npm remove eslint

Then re-install: npm i -D eslint@9.14.0

Install Prettier

npm i -D --exact prettier

Now create .prettierrc and .prettierignore file in the root of your project.

Include basic configurations for prettier in the .prettierrc file.
