TypeScript

Scalable JavaScript development with types, classes and modules.

Install

npm install -g typescript

Usage

tsc hello.ts

Build

• Install Node if you haven't already (http://nodejs.org/)

• Install Jake, the tool we use to build our compiler (https://github.com/mde/jake). To do this, run "npm install -g jake".

• To use jake, run one of the following commands:

• jake local - This builds the compiler. The output is in built/local in the public directory

• jake clean - deletes the build compiler

• jake LKG - This replaces the LKG (last known good) version of the compiler with the built one.

• This is a bootstrapping step to be executed whenever the built compiler reaches a stable state.

• jake tests - This builds the test infrastructure, using the built compiler.

• jake runtests - This runs the tests, using the built compiler and built test infrastructure.

• You can also override the host or specify a test for this command. Use host= or tests=.

• jake baseline-accept - This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from jake runtests.

• jake -T lists the above commands.
