Reclaiming your sanity: Webpack and Ethereum smart contracts with Typescript
summary
Claims that TypeScript immediately catches costly mistakes when wiring Webpack configs and Ethereum contracts, using ts-node to run webpack.config.ts and an ABI-to-typings generator to produce contract interfaces. Examples include catching missing await, passing value vs amount, and sending Ether to a bare hex literal — the kind of mistake that cost a project about $6 million. The approach is implemented, integrated with existing tooling, and prevents many silent failures before runtime.
