Purpose of Index.ts in frontend/src/ts

Monkeytype diehard here. And a completely incompetent Computer Science major.

Monkeytype is a near-universal experience here at the University of Waterloo. Computer science is a pretty big thing here, and I swear I can always hear someone mashing monkeytype in the computer lab.

Emotional anecdote aside, I was really interested in learning how Monkeytype was built. It's such a beautiful, elegant software.

After tinkering a little, I noticed in the build process, we refer to index.ts for the entry point of the webpack. I looked into the file, and it seems to just be adding a few random debug functions to the global object. I was wondering what the idea behind these functions were?

Resolved. Index.ts is the entry point for webpack, and quite literally imports everything.
