## Summary This PR fixes the `tsconfig` setup in `twenty-front` so that `tsgo -p tsconfig.json` properly type-checks all files. ### Root Cause The previous setup used TypeScript project references with `files: []` in the main `tsconfig.json`. When running `tsgo -p tsconfig.json`, this checks nothing because `tsgo` requires the `-b` (build) flag for project references, but the configs weren't set up for composite mode. ### Changes **Simplified tsconfig architecture (4 files → 2):** - `tsconfig.json` - All files (dev, tests, stories) for typecheck/IDE/lint - `tsconfig.build.json` - Production files only (excludes tests/stories) **Removed redundant configs:** - `tsconfig.dev.json` - `tsconfig.spec.json` - `tsconfig.storybook.json` **Updated references:** - `jest.config.mjs` → uses `tsconfig.json` - `eslint.config.mjs` → uses `tsconfig.json` - `vite.config.ts` → uses `tsconfig.json` for dev **Type fixes (pre-existing errors revealed by proper typechecking):** - Made `applicationId` optional in `FieldMetadataItem` and `ObjectMetadataItem` - Added missing `navigationMenuItem` translation - Added `objectLabelSingular` to Search GraphQL query - Fixed `sortMorphItems.test.ts` mock data ## Test plan - [ ] Run `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` - should pass - [ ] Run `npx nx lint twenty-front` - should work - [ ] Run `npx nx test twenty-front` - should work - [ ] Run `npx nx build twenty-front` - should work - [ ] Verify IDE type checking works correctly
Create Twenty App is the official scaffolding CLI for building apps on top of Twenty CRM. It sets up a ready‑to‑run project that works seamlessly with the twenty-sdk.
- Zero‑config project bootstrap
- Preconfigured scripts for auth, generate, dev sync, one‑off sync, uninstall
- Strong TypeScript support and typed client generation
Prerequisites
- Node.js 24+ (recommended) and Yarn 4
- A Twenty workspace and an API key (create one at https://app.twenty.com/settings/api-webhooks)
Quick start
npx create-twenty-app@latest my-twenty-app
cd my-twenty-app
# If you don't use yarn@4
corepack enable
yarn install
# Get Help
yarn run help
# Authenticate using your API key (you'll be prompted)
yarn auth:login
# Add a new entity to your application (guided)
yarn entity:add
# Generate a typed Twenty client and workspace entity types
yarn app:generate
# Start dev mode: automatically syncs local changes to your workspace
yarn app:dev
# Or run a one‑time sync
yarn app:sync
# Watch your application's functions logs
yarn function:logs
# Uninstall the application from the current workspace
yarn app:uninstall
What gets scaffolded
- A minimal app structure ready for Twenty
- TypeScript configuration
- Prewired scripts that wrap the
twentyCLI from twenty-sdk - Example placeholders to help you add entities, actions, and sync logic
Next steps
- Explore the generated project and add your first entity with
yarn entity:add. - Keep your types up‑to‑date using
yarn app:generate. - Use
yarn app:devwhile you iterate to see changes instantly in your workspace.

Troubleshooting
- Auth prompts not appearing: run
yarn auth:loginagain and verify the API key permissions. - Types not generated: ensure
yarn app:generateruns without errors, then re‑startyarn app:dev.
