Bingo

Bingo is a small project, written in TypeScript , and developed with Alexandru Badita in launch break (one hour - more or less). You can find sources at https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/ . Those are my blog posts for Bingo : ( scroll below for the post)

The easy way to test an application is to make a simple command line version . You can find the code at https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/bingo-meeting-console/index.ts

You can run also with Docker by running https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/dockerize/bingo_cli.bat

What were the steps ?

1. Install the @types/node, ts-node , typescript and others – see

https://github.com/alexandru360/PresentationBingoCards/blob/master/bingo-meeting-console/package.json

2. Create an index.ts with the required CLI ( hint: prompt, figlet, chalk , username , inquirer,console.table are good to have) – read https://dev.to/hugodias/building-your-first-interactive-node-js-cli-1g2c

3. Created an async main() and calling with

(async () => {
  try {
      await main();
        } catch (e) {
      console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
  }
})();

 

4. Modify package.json  to have

“main”: “dist/index.js”,

“types”: “dist/index.d.ts”,

“scripts”: {

“start”: “ts-node index.ts”,

“build”: “tsc”,

“compile”: “tsc”

}

5. Put in the root package

“scripts”: {

“test”: “cd bingo-meeting-objects-test && yarn test”,

“runConsole”: “cd bingo-meeting-console && yarn start”

}

and then run yarn runConsole

I can say that the C# console experience is better 😉
