Issues with typescript

[zim921]

I'm developing a new game and I've seen that many games use TypeScript and SCSS. I'm trying to use them as well, but I have a few questions:

I see packages like these, but the game doesn't have a node_modules folder. Where are those modules? Should I run npm install to download them?


"bga-cards": "thoun/bga-cards#3.1.1",
"bga-animations": "thoun/bga-animations#1.1.1",
"bga-zoom": "thoun/bga-zoom#1.0.2",
"bga-help": "thoun/bga-help#1.0.0"
I've seen a tsconfig.json like this:

{
"rootDir": ".",
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "none",
"lib": ["dom", "esnext"],
"sourceMap": false,
"outFile": "aux.js"
},
"files": [
"bga-framework.d.ts",
"bga-zoom.d.ts",
"bga-score-sheet.d.ts",
"node_modules/bga-help/src/help-manager.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/attach-with-animation.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/cumulated-animations.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/pause-animation.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/show-screen-center-animation.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/slide-animation.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations/slide-to-animation.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animations-utils.ts",
"node_modules/bga-animations/src/animation-manager.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/animations.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/card-stock.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/deck.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/all-visible-deck.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/line-stock.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/slot-stock.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/stocks/void-stock.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/card-manager.ts",
"node_modules/bga-cards/src/sort.ts",
"src/aux.d.ts",
"src/aux.ts",
"src/define.ts"
]
}
Again, should I actually download those node_modules files? Because when I download an already working project, those files aren't present.

I've tried a few things, but when I try to transpile from TypeScript to JavaScript, I get errors related to these files. Does anyone have a guide or something that explains the basics of how this is supposed to work? Or maybe a template project I could use as a starting point?

Thank you very much. Best regards!

Yes you need to run npm install to generate the node_modules. It's just needed for the build, that's why it's not uploaded to the FTP where only the js file will matter. It should be explained in the wiki doc
The project castlecombo should be a good example.
