ts-compiler

TypeScript compilation via the typescript-api.

This version is compatable with TypeScript 1.0.

TypeScript Usage

/// <reference path="node_modules/ts-compiler/ts-compiler.d.ts" />
import ts = require('ts-compiler');
 
ts.compile(
  ['foo.ts', 'bar.ts'],
  { skipWrite: true },
  (err: Error, results: ts.OutputFile[]) => {
 
    var foo = results[0];
    console.log(foo.text);
 
    var bar = results[1];
    console.log(bar.text);
  });

JavaScript Usage

var ts = require('ts-compiler');
 
ts.compile(
  ['foo.ts', 'bar.ts'],
  { skipWrite: true },
  function(err, results) {
 
    var foo = results[0];
    console.log(foo.text);
 
    var bar = results[1];
    console.log(bar.text);
});

Module API

ts.compile(files: string[], options?: ICompilerOptions, callback?: Function): BatchCompiler

• This is a shorthand way to call new ts.BatchCompiler.compile(...)
• Callback signature is err: Error, results: ts.OutputFile Array.
• The options follow the ICompilerOptions interface.
• Emits error and info events.

ts.OutputFile

• name: string
• writeByteOrderMark: boolean
• text: string
• fileType: (0: JavaScript, 1: SourceMap, 2: Declaration)
• sourceMapEntries: SourceMapEntry[]

ts.ICompilerOptions

Though all natively supported TypeScript compiler options will be passed through to the real compiler, it might not always make sense from an API standpoint. Use with common sense.

options.declaration

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Generates corresponding .d.ts file.

options.mapRoot

• Type: String

Specifies the location where debugger should locate map files instead of generated locations.

options.module

• Type: String

Specify module code generation: commonjs or amd

options.noImplicitAny

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Warn on expressions and declarations with an implied any type.

options.noResolve

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Skip resolution and preprocessing.

options.out

• Type: String

Concatenate and emit output to single file.

options.outDir

• Type: String

Redirect output structure to the directory.

options.removeComments

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Do not emit comments to output.

options.sourcemap

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Generates corresponding .map file.

options.sourceRoot

• Type: String

Specifies the location where debugger should locate TypeScript files instead of source locations.

options.target

• Type: String
• Default: ES3

Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' or 'ES5'

options.optionsFile

• Type: String

Insert command line options and files from a file. This is natively supported by the tsc command, but as a different @file key.

skipWrite

• Type: Boolean
• Default: false

Skips writing the output files. This flag is unique to ts-compiler.
