How to run typescript compiler as a package.json script without grunt or gulp

Question

I don\'t want to use grunt or gulp to compile ts files. I just want to do it in my package.json something like this:

  \"scripts\": {
    \"build\": \"tsc ma

If you want to compile and run, you can use the ts-node module.

npm install --save-dev ts-node 
npm install --save-dev typescript

And run with:

"scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node index.ts"
},

All other typescripts files that index.ts has imported (along with imports from index.ts dependencies) will be compiled and executed.
