# TSConfig Generator

tsconfig.json has a million options. This generates the right config for your project type.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-tsconfig next
```

## What It Does

- Generates optimized tsconfig.json
- Supports Next.js, Node.js, React, libraries
- Sets proper compiler options
- Includes path aliases

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Next.js project
npx ai-tsconfig next

# Node.js backend
npx ai-tsconfig node

# React app
npx ai-tsconfig react

# Library package
npx ai-tsconfig library
```

## Best Practices

- **Enable strict mode** - catch more errors
- **Use path aliases** - cleaner imports
- **Match your runtime** - target the right ES version
- **Exclude properly** - don't type-check node_modules

## When to Use This

- Starting new TypeScript project
- Upgrading TypeScript version
- Not sure what options to use
- Learning tsconfig patterns
