Directory structure for TypeScript projects

Issue

What would be an idiomatic directory structure for a TypeScript project?

I would like the following features in such a structure:

1. Separate directories for TypeScript source code and transpiled JavaScript
2. Separate directories for project source code and test code
3. Mechanism to resolve references across tests and source code.

Solution

Looks like I was doing it wrong. I was trying the following structure:

src
|---- lib
|-----|---- mymodule.ts
|---- tests
|-----|---- mymodule.tests.ts

However, I was attempting to compile the source code under lib directory separately from the test code under tests.

find src/lib -name *.ts | xargs tsc --declaration --sourceMap --module commonjs --target es5 --listFiles --outDir lib

and then the tests code:

find src/tests -name *.ts | xargs tsc --declaration --sourceMap --module commonjs --target es5 --listFiles --outDir tests

This caused the tests folder to have another lib sub-directory and a tests sub-directory. This was not what I intended to have.

To solve my problem I needed to compile them together, so now my command is:

find src -name *.ts | xargs tsc --declaration --sourceMap --module commonjs --target es5 --listFiles --outDir .

Thanks everybody for the help.
