tsdserver

TypeScript developement server.

A simple HTTP server (using micro) to serve your TypeScript web site static resources and update javascript imports.

Features:

• Lookup the requested resources in multiple root directories.
• Map a requested resource path to one or more paths.
• Resolve and rewrite javascript imports with the resolved module path
• Suffix any requested module with '.js' extension
• Wrap any file requested as javascript (from request path extension) but that did not resolve to a JS file (done by the mapFileName option). This allows you to import text resources from your javascript module, but load the raw resource on the server (ie: HTML templates stored in HTML files).

Requirements

This plugin requires a LTS Node version (v10.0.0+).

Install

Using npm:

npm install tsdserver --save-dev

Usage:

From the command line, in the project directory:

You can also create a npm script in you package.json to start the dev server:

    "http-server": "tsdserver -l tcp://localhost:8080"
}
