Allow to use this library directly without extra configuration

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently the library as published on NPM appears to be in the Commonjs format which requires configuration step to ensure code in node_modules-directory gets transpiled so it can be used.

The following error occurs:

node_modules/restful-react/lib/index.js:1
  (function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import Get from "./Get";
                                                                       ^^^

Describe the solution you’d like I think it would be suffice to compile the library in both commonjs and umd format, well I even think umd format should already work. I have been looking into the project and it looks like it uses quite old version of a bunch of dependencies but at the same time it seems to use rollup to convert shell node scripts to commonjs format while not the actual library files itself.

I think a solution would be to update the rollup config so it’s converting the *.js outputted by tsc in the root of the lib-directory to umd and then the ones in lib/bin-directory to commonjs to make them work out of the box in Node.js (I assume that’s the reason)

Correct! We can definitely close this issue, thanks for let discover tsdx, it’s very nice 👌

@TejasQ / @weyert I’ve been working recently on a library that uses TSDX which has been great since there’s not much config required.

However, seems I’m a bit late to the party as @weyert’s PRs are already there so I’m happy to put the time in assisting with either approach if required. 👍
