Step 1 of 3

Scaffold a TypeScript Pulumi project

Bootstrap a TypeScript Pulumi project for Azure with proper tsconfig and type definitions.

Tasks

Run pulumi new azure-typescript --name myapp --stack dev

Run npm install to install @pulumi/pulumi and @pulumi/azure-native

Configure stack: pulumi config set azure-native:location eastus

Run npx tsc --noEmit to verify TypeScript compilation

Run pulumi preview to see initial plan

🎯 What You'll Learn

▸Use pulumi new azure-typescript to scaffold a typed project
▸Understand tsconfig.json for Pulumi TypeScript projects
▸Install @pulumi/azure-native and get full type coverage

Code

Bashbootstrap.sh
1 #!/bin/bash
2  
3 mkdir myapp-infra && cd myapp-infra
4  
5 pulumi new azure-typescript \
6   --name myapp \
7   --stack dev \
8   --description "MyApp Azure Infrastructure"
9  
10 npm install
11  
12 # Configure stack
13 pulumi config set azure-native:location eastus
14 pulumi config set environment dev
15  
16 # Verify TypeScript
17 npx tsc --noEmit
18  
19 # Preview
20 pulumi preview

💡 Pro Tips

▸The azure-native package has @pulumi/azure-native/resources, /storage, /web namespaces etc.
▸VS Code IntelliSense works fully for all resource types and properties
▸Use strict tsconfig (strict: true) to catch type errors early

Expected Output

Project scaffolded; npx tsc --noEmit passes; pulumi preview shows resources
