Installation

It is recommended to use AGS to scaffold and run projects in TypeScript.

It lets you

• generate TypeScript types using ts-for-gir
• generate a tsconfig which is used by LSPs to provide intellisense
• bundle your TypeScript and JavaScript code using esbuild

Trivia

AGS is the predecessor of Astal, which was written purely in TypeScript and so only supported JavaScript/TypeScript. Now it serves as a scaffolding tool for Astal+TypeScript projects.

Setting up a project

🚧 Setting up a dev environment without AGS is not yet documented. 🚧
