Is there any docs for introducing the what is ts-node?

[morningman]

Sorry that I don't know anything about front-end technology. So I don't know how to run this project on my machine...

I try to search the ts-node, but it makes me more confused, the typescript, vue.js and other nouns are completely new to me...

So is there any docs to introduce the technology stack of this project, so that I can have a preliminary understanding of the project.

Thanks very much!

TL;DR:

As we know, the python is the REPL/parser for Python language. The ts-node is the REPL/parser for TypeScript (which is a superset of the JavaScript) language.

You can use the ts-node to run TypeScript program files.

Install ts-node by:

1. Install Node.js (from https://nodejs.org/)
2. run npm install --global ts-node

An example can be found in our repo as the following:
