Additional Information
Why include Volta
Volta’s toolchain always keeps track of where you are, it makes sure the tools you use always respect the settings of the project you’re working on. This means you don’t have to worry about changing the state of your installed software when switching between projects. For example, it's used by engineers at LinkedIn to standardize tools and have reproducible development environments.
I recommend to install Volta and use it to manage your project's toolchain.
ES Modules
This template uses native ESM. Make sure to read this, and this first.
If your project requires CommonJS, you will have to convert to ESM.
Please do not open issues for questions regarding CommonJS or ESM on this repo.
