TypeScript-Watcher

A Node.js file-watcher for TypeScript, providing common functionality currently missing in the tsc command, notably the inability to specify output paths for individual files or groups and recursive, multi-file compilations.

Installation

  • Run sudo npm install -g typescript-watcher

Usage

  1. Build: To build all .ts sources and ouput .js files into a location, execute
    • tscwatch build <rootPath> <outputPath> [options]
  2. Watch: To continuously watch .ts files for changes and output compiled .js, execute
    • tscwatch watch <rootPath> <outputPath> [options]
  3. Load Config: To load an external config .json file, execute
  • tscwatch run-config <path to config.json> [options]

Configuration Options

{
  "watch": false,
  "rootPath": "tests/app",
  "outputPath": "tests/public2",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "comments"    : true, 
    "debug"     : false, 
    "declaration" : false, 
    "minw"      : false, 
    "moduleType"  : "AMD", 
    "sourcemap"   : false, 
    "target"    : "ES3" 
  }
}

More options

Usage: tscwatch [command] [options]

Possible commands are:
  tscwatch build: Build TypeScript project (short-cut alias: 'b')
  tscwatch watch: Watch TypeScript project for changes and automatically compile (short-cut alias: 'w')
  tscwatch run-config: Load config file and run tscwatch based upon supplied params (short-cut alias: 'rc')

To get help on individual command, execute 'tscwatch <command> --help' [options]

Options:
  -c, --comments    output comments in the compiled source
  -m, --moduleType  set the compiled source module type (commonjs or AMD).  Default is commonjs
  -s, --sourcemap   output sourcemaps alongside compiled source
  -t, --target      output JavaScript version; options are "ES3" and "ES5".  Default is "ES3"
  -v, --version     display tscwatch version
