structure

• put source files in src/ not lib/, it's a common convention

tsconfig

• use "include": ["src/**/*"] in addition to "rootDir": "src" to avoid File '...test/office-time.spec.ts' is not under 'rootDir' error
• "sourceMap": true plus "inlineSources": true might be a good idea
• "types": ["node"] and maybe "mocha" is probably a good idea, not checked though
• we need "lib": ["es2015"] to have Promise, an so async / await and avaid error An async function or method in ES5/ES3 requires the 'Promise' constructor. Make sure you have a declaration for the 'Promise' constructor or include 'ES2015' in your --lib option.

package.json

• "main": "dist/index.js" - important for final npm module
• "types" : "dist/index.d.ts" - important for final npm module

with all this options - tsc w/o params is enough to build

depending application

• it's possible to use relative path in dependencies section, e.g.: "gl-office-time-api": "~/www/gl-office-time-api",
