Transforming TypeScript into JavaScript

Question

I\'m wondering how is it possible to transform the TypeScript into JavaScript in a cross platform manner. I\'m aware about availability of node package manager for typescrip

Answer 1

I have a project which compiles Typescript to Javascript in Java:

https://github.com/martypitt/typescript4j

As discussed in other answers, this makes use of Rhino, so has no dependencies on npm or node.

Here's an example:

// Instantiate the compiler:
TypescriptCompiler compiler = new TypescriptCompiler();

// Compile a string:
String output = compiler.compile("class Greeter { greeting: string; }");

// Or, compile and output to a file:
compiler.compile(new File("example.ts"), new File('output.js'));

I use it in another project - 'Bakehouse' to perform on-the-fly compilation of typescript resources within Spring environments
