grunt-ts-compiler

TypeScript compiler

Simple TypeScript compiler. Use it if (like me) you think that other TypeScript Grunt tasks are either useless, buggy or too complicated.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-ts-compiler --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-ts-compiler');

typescript task

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Options

baseDir

Type: String

Default: Derived by TypeScript compiler

The base directory for TypeScript sources.

compilerOptions

Type: Object

Default: Compiler defaults

TypeScript compiler options.

Usage Examples

Redirect JavaScript structure to the directory

typescript: {
  dist: {
    options: {
      compilerOptions: {
        target: 'ES5',
        outDir: './scripts/js'
      },
      baseDir: './scripts/ts'
    },
    src: './scripts/ts/**/*.ts'
  }
}

Concatenate and emit JavaScript to single file

typescript: {
  dist: {
    options: {
      compilerOptions: {
        noImplicitAny: true,
        out: './scripts/js/out.js'
      },
      baseDir: './scripts/ts'
    },
    src: './scripts/ts/**/*.ts'
  }
}
