@loaderkit/ts v1.0.0

🐘 @loaderkit/ts - A nodejs loader for TypeScript

This is a simple loader for well-configured TypeScript projects running in nodejs.

This loader does not perform any type checking. It only performs transpilation. A well-configured project should run tsc -b -w in a separate process.

This loader should only be used in projects which use ECMAScript modules. A well-configured project should not be using CommonJS.

Source maps are passed along in the transpilation process, so the --enable-source-maps nodejs flag is recommended.

An extra degree of care has been taken to ensure that import.meta.url, and the internal url values are reasonable. When an output destination is specified in the nearest tsconfig.json then import.meta.url will be the value it would have been if run from the tsc-transpiled output. The internal url property will be resolved to the TypeScript source file which ensures good support with chained loaders such as dynohot.

EXAMPLE

main.ts

const value: string = 'hello world';
console.log(value);

$ node --import @loaderkit/ts/register test.ts
hello world

OR

$ node --loader @loaderkit/ts test.ts
hello world
