Playwright - Lesson 1.2 - Installing Node.js and TypeScript

Description

In Lesson 1, we build the complete foundation for a professional Playwright automation framework using Node.js and TypeScript. You’ll learn how to install the required tools, configure your project correctly, understand how TypeScript compilation works, and set up a clean folder structure that mirrors real-world automation teams. We also walk through opening the project in VS Code, initializing Git, and publishing your work to GitHub — the same workflow used by modern QA engineers and SDETs. By the end of Lesson 1, you’ll have a fully working Node + TypeScript project ready for Playwright, plus a solid understanding of how everything fits together.
