Integrating with Build Tools
Remarks#
For more information you can go on official web page typescript integrating with build tools
Install and configure webpack + loaders
Installation
npm install -D webpack typescript ts-loader
webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
entry: {
app: ['./src/'],
},
output: {
path: __dirname,
filename: './dist/[name].js',
},
resolve: {
extensions: ['', '.js', '.ts'],
},
module: {
loaders: [{
test: /\.ts(x)$/, loaders: ['ts-loader'], exclude: /node_modules/
}],
}
};
Browserify
Install
npm install tsify
Using Command Line Interface
browserify main.ts -p [ tsify --noImplicitAny ] > bundle.js
Using API
var browserify = require("browserify");
var tsify = require("tsify");
browserify()
.add("main.ts")
.plugin("tsify", { noImplicitAny: true })
.bundle()
.pipe(process.stdout);
More details: smrq/tsify
Grunt
Install
npm install grunt-ts
Basic Gruntfile.js
module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
ts: {
default : {
src: ["**/*.ts", "!node_modules/**/*.ts"]
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-ts");
grunt.registerTask("default", ["ts"]);
};
More details: TypeStrong/grunt-ts
Gulp
Install
npm install gulp-typescript
Basic gulpfile.js
var gulp = require("gulp");
var ts = require("gulp-typescript");
gulp.task("default", function () {
var tsResult = gulp.src("src/*.ts")
.pipe(ts({
noImplicitAny: true,
out: "output.js"
}));
return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest("built/local"));
});
gulpfile.js using an existing tsconfig.json
var gulp = require("gulp");
var ts = require("gulp-typescript");
var tsProject = ts.createProject('tsconfig.json', {
noImplicitAny: true // You can add and overwrite parameters here
});
gulp.task("default", function () {
var tsResult = tsProject.src()
.pipe(tsProject());
return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('release'));
});

Webpack
Install
npm install ts-loader --save-dev
Basic webpack.config.js
webpack 2.x, 3.x
module.exports = {
resolve: {
extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.js']
},
module: {
rules: [
{
// Set up ts-loader for .ts/.tsx files and exclude any imports from node_modules.
test: /\.tsx?$/,
loaders: ['ts-loader'],
exclude: /node_modules/
}
]
},
entry: [
// Set index.tsx as application entry point.
'./index.tsx'
],
output: {
filename: "bundle.js"
}
};
webpack 1.x
module.exports = {
entry: "./src/index.tsx",
output: {
filename: "bundle.js"
},
resolve: {
// Add '.ts' and '.tsx' as a resolvable extension.
extensions: ["", ".webpack.js", ".web.js", ".ts", ".tsx", ".js"]
},
module: {
loaders: [
// all files with a '.ts' or '.tsx' extension will be handled by 'ts-loader'
{ test: /\.ts(x)?$/, loader: "ts-loader", exclude: /node_modules/ }
]
}
}

Alternatives:
MSBuild
Update project file to include locally installed Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props
(at the top) and Microsoft.TypeScript.targets
(at the bottom) files:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" DefaultTargets="Build" xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<!-- Include default props at the bottom -->
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props"
Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.Default.props')" />
<!-- TypeScript configurations go here -->
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Debug'">
<TypeScriptRemoveComments>false</TypeScriptRemoveComments>
<TypeScriptSourceMap>true</TypeScriptSourceMap>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
<TypeScriptRemoveComments>true</TypeScriptRemoveComments>
<TypeScriptSourceMap>false</TypeScriptSourceMap>
</PropertyGroup>
<!-- Include default targets at the bottom -->
<Import
Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets"
Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets')" />
</Project>
