Proper prod/dev dependencies

[antho1404]

The following packages don't need to be installed for production and are only useful for development

• ts-node
• types/node
• typescript
  Better to install them with a --save-dev

I chose to not build and run the ts but directly run it. See the package.json:

template-service-typescript/template/package.json

Line 17 in 3672315

"start": "ts-node src/index.ts",

Do you think it's better to build the ts in the dockerfile and then run it?

ts-node is ok for dev and testing, I’m not sure it’s really reliable enough for production. Usually typescript is to compile it and then you run the js version.

Dockerfile can copy the sources, build and run the compiled node script.
