meteor-typescript
Meteor typescript compiler plugin package.
Depends on https://github.com/Meteor-Community-Packages/meteor-typescript-compiler for the bulk of the implementation.
This project is just a small wrapper to install the compiler as a Meteor plugin.
History
This plugin is based on the incremental compilation support released in Typescript 3.6 and works like a dropin replacement to the old barbatus:typescript package and its forks.
Some main attributes:
- Outputs type compilation errors as part of the build process and will fail if a file could not be transpiled to js.
- Uses settings in tsconfig.json (overrides a few, like "incremental")
How to install and use
# meteor remove typescript # (if needed) # meteor add refapp:meteor-typescript
Cached files
To get advantage of cached files on a build server, ensure that you save and restore the content of the .meteor/local/plugin-cache directory between builds.
How to test using the provided test application (requires a system with proper symlink support)
git clone git@github.com:ref-app/meteor-typescript.git git clone git@github.com:ref-app/meteor-typescript-compiler.git cd meteor-typescript/tests/small-typescript-app/ meteor npm install meteor run
This builds the two packages and uses them to try to compile the small example app.
