How to share code between node.js server & browser using Typescript

Question

I am planning to do a little multiplayer javascript game with a node.js server (using socket.io) and would like to share some code (mostly classes) between the webclient and the server. So I found this:

How can I share code between Node.js and the browser?

However I would also like to use Typescript and was wondering how to set it up? What tsconfig.json settings are best suited for this? Do I have to use something like browserify or webpack?

Answer 1

Do I have to use something like browserify or webpack?

What tsconfig.json settings are best suited for this
