## Generating a TypeScript app

`express-generator` scaffolds a JavaScript app. For a TypeScript skeleton, the community-maintained [`express-generator-typescript`](https://github.com/seanpmaxwell/express-generator-typescript) tool runs the same way:

```

It produces a project with a comparable structure plus `tsconfig.json` and build scripts. This tool is maintained by the community, not the Express team.
