Why the library is prefixed with @lukaspolak/

There are a lot of similar libraries/packages on GitHub and npm, that can do the same. I wanted to enhance my programming skills, and I didn't want to find a unique name for the package.

INITIALIZATION TODO

• replace create-typescript-library with repository name
• update keywords and description in package.json file
• update buildEsm.input array with correct paths inside rollup.config.ts file
• replace quoted text in README.md file
• create and add playground link to CodeSandbox
• add Topics to GitHub repository
• remove INITIALIZATION TODO section

For React based library:

• install (yarn add @types/react react -D) dev dependencies.
• change script for linting to: "lint": "eslint './{src,test}/**/*.{ts,tsx}'",
• add peerDependencies object to package.json file

{
  //...
  "peerDependencies": {
    "react": "^17.0.1" // replace `17.0.1` with latest version
  }
}

Also update tsconfig.json file with:

{
  // ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    // ...
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true, // replace original
    "jsx": "react", // add
    "esModuleInterop": true // add
    // ...
  },
  // ...
  "include": ["src/**/*.ts"] // update this line accordingly
  // ...
}

// test/tsconfig.json
{
  // ...
  "include": ["**/*.test.ts"] // update this line accordingly
}
