Hello Robert, Robert.

Since we don't have a great deal of experience with Typescript any
assistance in documenting (or pointing to standard typescript
documentation) on how to hook up a development module to a separate project
that uses the module would be valuable.

Aside, I should also do the same for the Go side, where the standard is a "
go.work" file that allows the development repo to overlay the modules usage
in a different project.

Robert
