Support TypeScript

[gaslimitreached]

It is possible to support TypeScript:

• nextjs
• hardhat

Steps:

• create templates directory
• rename template to default
• move default to templates
• create templates/typescript directory
  • will next/hardhat need separate directories due totsconfig.json?
• update create-app.js for --typescript
  • install dependencies
  • copy templates/typescript assets

Reference for the steps above: create-next-app

Why let people make non typescript projects at all? Nobody should be doing this in 2021 imo.

correct, this is possible. I left code for the option of typescript install here https://github.com/Developer-DAO/create-dao/blob/0709815bf658dee5ae747c3591acea46003cb1e1/index.js#L20

and the code to copy the correct templated folder here https://github.com/Developer-DAO/create-dao/blob/0709815bf658dee5ae747c3591acea46003cb1e1/create-app.js#L138

I think the idea was to focus a working plain js version as a MVP and exploring ts later.

Should we add TypeScript for a template project?

Nicely done, please ping me here in this issue whenever it's ready to be migrated to TypeScript and hopeful I'm not gonna interfere the development cycle
