If you hire me as a consultant I will do it for you at $150 per hour.

You said:

> I just write my code and then point node at the main file, and this even includes front-end code for the browser.

Then you said:

> I never said Node is did anything for the front end.

So which is it?

[austin-cheney]

Since you need just a little help…

Yes, I push all my TS code through Node for type stripping. No, Node is not executing browser code. No, I am not suggesting Node is running in the browser.

For extra extra extra clarity importing functions in JavaScript does not execute them. They still have to be called for them to execute.

I am still willing to fix your code for a consultation fee.

yeah this is a bit confusing. so you strip the types from the frontend and serve the .ts file as .js file? That's a transpiler/bundler.

[austin-cheney]

Confusing or not it works for me. No compile step and no build step. The application starts up in 0.2 seconds on Linux and about 1.2 seconds on Windows.

[brazukadev]

it is confusing the way you are explaining it, so much that even you can't understand.

You do have a build step, you just think that doing that using node script is the same as not having one, I guess.

[root_axis]

Yeah, IMO they are just making stuff up. Even as explained what they're saying makes no sense. Ultimately, there needs to be some entrypoint into the client-side script, node has no built in way to serve source code it's type-stripped over http.
