Browserify plugin for compiling TypeScript 1.4

NPM version Build status Dependency status devDependency Status peerDependency Status

example usage

On the command line:

$ browserify main.ts -p [ tsify --noImplicitAny ] > bundle.js

With the Browserify API:

browserify()
    .add('main.ts')
    .plugin('tsify', { noImplicitAny: true })
    .bundle();

installation

Just plain ol' npm installation:

npm install tsify

options

  • tsify will generate sourcemaps if the --debug option is set on Browserify.
  • tsify supports the following options from the TypeScript compiler:

--noImplicitAny

Warn on expressions and declarations with an implied any type.

--removeComments

Do not emit comments to output.

--target=version

Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' (default), or 'ES5'

does this work with...

Watchify?

Yes! tsify can do incremental compilation using watchify, resulting in much faster incremental build times. Just follow the Watchify documentation, and add tsify as a plugin as indicated in the documentation above.

Gulp?

No problem. See the Gulp recipes on using browserify and watchify, and add tsify as a plugin as indicated in the documentation above.

Grunt?

Use grunt-browserify and you should be good! Just add tsify as a plugin in your Grunt configuration.

IE 11?

The inlined sourcemaps that Browserify generates may not be readable by IE 11 for debugging purposes. This is easy to fix by adding exorcist to your build workflow after Browserify.

why a plugin?

There are several TypeScript compilation transforms available on npm, all with various issues. The TypeScript compiler automatically performs dependency resolution on module imports, much like Browserify itself. Browserify transforms are not flexible enough to deal with multiple file outputs given a single file input, which means that any working TypeScript compilation transform either skips the resolution step (which is necessary for complete type checking) or performs multiple compilations of source files further down the dependency graph.

tsify avoids this problem by using the power of plugins to perform a single compilation of the TypeScript source up-front, using Browserify to glue together the resulting files.
