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

This is what worked for me:

First, installed the typescript node module >> npm install -g typescript. This gives a command line utility tsc.

Next, tsc gulpfile.ts gulp-config.ts typings/tsd.d.ts

• this will transpile the gulpfile.ts and gulp-config.ts files to gulpfile.js and gulp-config.js. We supply the typings/tsd.d.ts file as reference for correct transpilation.
• The typescript node module covers many options >> tsc -h to specify output directory or file, etc..

Hope this helps.
