Make setting up a tuned TypeScript project easy as 🥧

See original GitHub issue

Currently it takes quite a bit of product knowledge to set up a TypeScript project and get all the nice features VS Code has to offer. Examples:

What should my tsconfig.json include?
How can I run my project?
How can I get debugging to work?
How should I run my build/watch?
How can I set up tests?
How should I lint/format the code?

And probably lots more…

This issue tracks making these questions easy to answer, the starting point for this will be developing start list contributions to instantiate template folders that have been tuned to make the development/build/test/debug process as seamless as possible.

How about editing tsconfig.json with the built-in settings editor #104044?

As a starting solution, we discussed a simple solution:

Having a welcome page for TypeScript that has the following steps:

Tells users how to download TS
Has a button that allows users to create a simple TS solution . (This will use tsc --init to create a base tsconfig and then
Shows users how to compile their code with tsc

I think our simple solution can also assist here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/124280 . it is mentioned that the having a base tsconfig can speed up the run/debug

I would love to hear your thoughts @JacksonKearl @DanielRosenwasser @digitarald

Also going to mention @connor4312 since its his comment I am referring to
