TypeScript Register

Deprecated in favor of ts-node

Extension to require TypeScript files from Node. This project is an alternative to typescript-require. The main differences are:

• Dependencies are run in the same context as the parent
• Uses the TypeScript API as opposed to forking tsc
• Caches dependencies in /tmp/typescript-register/:your/:path/:here

Examples

foo.ts

export var foo = 3;

bar.js

require('typescript-register');
var foo = require('./foo');

console.log(foo.foo);

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install typescript-register

Configuration

There are three configuration options which are read from environment variables. The configuration options are read each time a module is required so you can programatically set them with:

process.env[':name'] = ':value';

The values are:

• TYPESCRIPT_REGISTER_EMIT_ERROR: Whether or not emit fatal TypeScript errors
• TYPESCRIPT_REGISTER_USE_CACHE: Whether or not to use previously emitted files
• TYPESCRIPT_REGISTER_COMPILER_OPTIONS: The JSON stringified TypeScript compiler options
