Keep original typescript source maps after using browserify

Question

Background: I am compiling 2 dependent TypeScript files to js, which produces also source maps (one source map per file) using tsc 1.0

I\'m using -m commonjs

Answer 1

Using the minifyify browserify plugin I believe you can use TypeScript with Browserify and retain the source maps. After compiling the TypeScript files you should be able to pass the "entry" file (the one that imports the other one via commonjs syntax) through browserify with the minifyify plugin.

var browserify = require('browserify'),
    bundler = new browserify();

bundler.add('entry.js');
bundler.plugin('minifyify', {map: 'bundle.js.map'});
bundler.bundle({debug: true}, function (err, src, map) {
  if (err) console.log(err);
  fs.writeFileSync('bundle.js', src);
  fs.writeFileSync('bundle.js.map', map);
});
