Advent of Code Typescript Starter

A template for Advent of Code written in Typescript with Node.

(Adapted from https://github.com/ljgago - repo not available)

Usage

The project uses Node.js for the javascript runtime, pnpm for the package manager, and Jest with ts-jest for testing.

git clone https://github.com/nesvand/aoc-solutions
cd aoc-solutions
# install dependencies
pnpm install
# run tests for day01
pnpm test day01
# run day01
pnpm start day01

Generate

You can generate all necessary files for use in the event with a simple command:

$ pnpm gen day01

This command generates these files:

* creating src/day01/resources/input.txt
* creating src/day01/index.ts
* creating src/day01/main.ts
* creating src/day01/part1.ts
* creating src/day01/part2.ts
* creating src/day01/README.md
* creating test/day01.test.spec.ts

/src/day01/resources/input.txt: the input data.
/src/day01/index.ts: export the modules for testing.
/src/day01/main.ts: the main module.
/src/day01/part1.ts: solution for part 1.
/src/day01/part2.ts: solution for part 2.
/src/day01/README.md: you can write the challenge statement.
/tests/day01.test.spec.ts: the module where you write the tests.

Config

You can configure the automatic input download from Advent of Code by using your session token.

To download the inputs from web, you need to set the environment var AOC_SESSION. You can to get the session token from the cookie web browser.

Also can you set the AOC_YEAR to select a certain year.

(It is not mandatory use the AOC_YEAR, the pnpm gen can get the year automatically)

You can set an .env file with these variables.
