ts-clean-built

Safely removes old/built *.js *.d.ts *.js.map files from working directory.

This is useful when for example you want to clean up working/output directory of old built (not actual) files not removing actual existing output (i.e when tsc --watch is running).

Install

npm install ts-clean-built -D

yarn add ts-clean-built --dev
