Example Vercel with TypeScript

[oscard0m]

I'm working on a GitHub App, and recently I've struggled to deploy it to Vercel when the app is in TypeScript.

The issues I found on the way were:

• Missing environment variables configured on the Vercel app.¹
• I had to go through Vercel's documentation to understand that Vercel expects a /api folder to find lambda functions automatically. ¹
• It was unclear how my serverless function should be importing my Probot app written in TS and compiled in the build step: should I compile api/, should I write in plain JS and point /dist folder?

I would be happy to add a example-vercel-ts if you see it could be valuable or add it as a Considerations section ¹

happy to create a new example-vercel-ts repository if you want to create and maintain it

or you could keep it on your account and we link to it from the existing example-vercel repository

Let's do that.
