Pure Typescript Loader for Node & Browser with Zero Setting

DO NOT USE ME IN PRODUCTION(YET) BECAUSE I AM UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT NOW

Why Pure TypeScript?

I love typescript(because of angular 2), and I switched all my javascript code to typescript now, including my server components.

I also would like to write pure typescript npm modules, which I think is no need to compile to javascript any more, because my environment is a full typescript stack.

But there's no such a tool for me to run typescript smoothly for my need. for example:

1. ts-node don't support load pure typescript library/module in node_modules directory
2. tsconfig.json is a too complicated
3. typings.json is too complicated
4. index.d.ts is too complicated
5. set default file extension to .ts
6. run typescript in browser needs a lot of configuration(too complicated)
7. .ts is not the first dependencies file extention search 1st order

I believe that run typescript should as easy as run node in server, or javascript in browser, this is the reason I decided to write a new tool to solve those problems.

Goal

1. Support Pure TypeScript modules/library in node_moduels
2. Run typescript as Zero-Configuration
3. One Line Configuration in browser to run Pure TypeScript directly

The PAIN of Pure Typescript Developer

• Can't have a "pure" typescript library.
• Fail to load pure typescript module from node_moules
• ts-node cannot import pure typescript npm module inside node_modules directory

Usage

$ purets server.ts

Best Practice

1. Add keywords: pure-typescript in package.json
2. For Pure Typescript NPM Module, set main: index.ts in package.json
