How can I generate a tsconfig.json file?

Question

How can I generate a tsconfig.json via the command line? I tried command tsc init, but this doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

For those who have TypeScript installed as a local package (and possibly as a dev dependency) via:

$ npm install typescript --save-dev

...and who have added tsc script to package.json:

"scripts": {
   ...
   "tsc": "tsc"
},

You can call tsc --init via npm:

$ npm run tsc -- --init
