@ts-tools/webpack-loader

TypeScript loader for webpack.

Features:

• Fast! Uses ts.transpileModule. Leaves type checking to other flows.
• Uses persistent disk caching (node_modules/.cache/ts-<moodule>-<target>). Second run will not re-transpile a file if not changed.
• Loads configuration from the closest tsconfig.json.
• Automated source map configuration based on current devtool configuration.

Getting started

Install the library as a dev dependency in an existing TypeScript project:

npm i @ts-tools/webpack-loader --save-dev

And adjust your webpack configuration to include:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.tsx?$/,
        loader: '@ts-tools/webpack-loader',
      },
    ],
  },
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.mjs', '.js', '.json'],
  },
  // ...
};

Options

interface ITypeScriptLoaderOptions {
  /**
   * Keys to override in the `compilerOptions` section of the
   * `tsconfig.json` file.
   */
  compilerOptions?: object;

  /**
   * Turn persistent caching on/off.
   *
   *  @default true
   */
  cache?: boolean;

  /**
   * Absolute path of an existing directory to use for persistent cache.
   *
   * @default uses `find-cache-dir` to search for caching path.
   */
  cacheDirectoryPath?: string;

  /**
   * Path to `tsconfig.json` file.
   * Specifying it will skip config lookup
   */
  configFilePath?: string;

  /**
   * Name of config file to search for when looking up config.
   *
   * @default 'tsconfig.json'
   */
  configFileName?: string;

  /**
   * Should loader search for config.
   * Loader will search for the closest tsconfig file to the root context, and load it.
   *
   * @default true
   */
  configLookup?: boolean;
}

Options can be provided via the webpack configuration:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.tsx?$/,
        loader: '@ts-tools/webpack-loader',
        options: {
          compilerOptions: {
            target: 'es5',
          },
        },
      },
    ],
  },
  // ...
};
