karma-tsc-preprocessor

Karma Preprocessor that compiles your TypeScript files.

Installation

Add karma-tsc-preprocessor as a devDependency in your package.json.

{
  "devDependencies": {
    "karma-tsc-preprocessor": "1.0.0"
  }
}

Or just issue the following command:

npm install karma-tsc-preprocessor --save-dev

Configuration

Default tsconfig.json

Using an existing tsconfig.json file:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    bastPath: ".",
    preprocessors: {
      '**/*.ts': ['tsc']
    },
    plugins: [
      "karma-tsc-preprocessor",
    ],
  });
};

You do not need to pass the tsc options if you want to use your existing tsconfig.json file that is relative to the basePath property

---

Non standard tsconfig file

Using an existing tsconfig file with a non standard file name, for example tsconfig.tests.json:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    bastPath: ".",
    preprocessors: {
      '**/*.ts': ['tsc']
    },
    tsc: {
      configFile: 'tsconfig.tests.json'
    },
    plugins: [
      "karma-tsc-preprocessor",
    ],
  });
};

---

Non standard tsconfig file

Using a compilerOptions object:

module.exports = function(config) {
  config.set({
    preprocessors: {
      '**/*.ts': ['tsc']
    },
    tsc: {
      compilerOptions: {
        module: "commonjs",
        target: "es5",
        sourceMap: true,
      }
    },
    plugins: [
      "karma-tsc-preprocessor",
    ],
  });
};

Usage

Plugin behaviour

• configFile property takes precedence over compilerOptions.
• Setting sourceMap to true emulates the inlineSourceMap behaviour.

Examples

See integration folder for example projects.

Version support

typescript is a peer dependency so consumers can use any supported version.

• TypeScript version >= 2.0.0 are supported.
• Node.js version >= 8.16.0 are supported.
