plugin-typescript-angular

This is a fork of the excellent TypeScript SystemJS loader by Frank Wallis. It is 99% the same code, plus the system JS Angular template loading path adjustment mechanism from the Angular QuickStart project.

============================ TypeScript loader for SystemJS

Overview

A plugin for SystemJS which enables you to System.import TypeScript files directly. The files are transpiled in the browser and compilation errors written to the console.

Starting with JSPM 0.17.0 (currently in beta) this plugin will be the officially supported mechanism for transpiling TypeScript. It provides the ability to transpile TypeScript and ES2015+ files on the fly when then are loaded by SystemJS.

plugin-typescript supports TypeScript 2.0.0 and higher
For TypeScript 1.8.1 use plugin-typescript 4.0.16
For TypeScript 1.7.5 and below use plugin-typescript 2.x.x

Installation

JSPM

Install plugin-typescript like this:

jspm install ts

All the SystemJS configuration will be created automatically by JSPM.

If you are using SystemJS without JSPM

Add SystemJS map configuration for plugin-typescript and typescript:

SystemJS.config({
  packages: {
    "ts": {
      "main": "lib/plugin.js"
    },
    "typescript": {
      "main": "lib/typescript.js",
      "meta": {
        "lib/typescript.js": {
          "exports": "ts"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  map: {
    "ts": "path/to/plugin-typescript",
    "typescript": "path/to/typescript"
  },
  transpiler: 'ts'
});

Setup

Make plugin-typescript the default transpiler for js and ts files

System.config({
  transpiler: "ts"
  packages: {
    "app": {
      "defaultExtension": "ts",
    }
  }
});

This will tell SystemJS to transpile all modules (.js and .ts) using plugin-typescript. It is also possible to configure plugin-typescript to load specific files, using packages configuration

System.config({
  transpiler: "babel",
  packages: {
    "src": {
      "defaultExtension": "ts",
      "meta": {
        "*.ts": {
          "loader": "ts"
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

This will cause all .ts files in the "src" package to be loaded through plugin-typescript.

See the example projects contained within this repository for a working setup.

Configuration

Configuration settings can be passed to the compiler via "typescriptOptions":

System.config({
  typescriptOptions: {
    module: "system",
    noImplicitAny: true,
    tsconfig: true                  // also accepts a path
  }
});

It is also possible to override the default configuration for specific files, using meta configuration:

System.config({
  transpiler: "typescript",
  packages: {
    "src": {
      "defaultExtension": "ts",
      "meta": {
         "*.ts": {
            "typescriptOptions": {
               "noImplicitAny": true
            }
         }
      }
    }
  }
});

All the usual TypeScript compiler options are supported, as well as these additional ones:

tsconfig

A boolean flag which instructs the plugin to load configuration from "tsconfig.json". To override the location of the file set this option to the path of the configuration file, which will be resolved using normal SystemJS resolution.

The file location will be resolved using normal SystemJS resolution, and compiler options which do not conflict with those required by plugin-typescript will be loaded from the compilerOptions section of the file.

Features

Hot-Reload support

The example projects show how to use plugin-typescript in conjuntion with systemjs-hot-reloader

Rollup support

Rollup is supported when transpiling with module: "es6". It can help to reduce the size of your bundles by stripping out unused modules. For more information see here

Link to source from transpiler errors

When compiling in the browser, transpiler errors contain a link to the exact location of the error in the source. This is particularly helpful if you are using Chrome DevTools as your IDE.

Override TypeScript version

To override the version of TypeScript used by the plugin, add an override to the jspm section of your package.json

	"devDependencies": {
		"css": "systemjs/plugin-css@0.1.10",
		"ts": "frankwallis/plugin-typescript@^7.0.5"
	},
	"overrides": {
		"github:frankwallis/plugin-typescript@5.0.1": {
	 		"dependencies": {
	    		"typescript": "npm:typescript@2.3.0-dev.20170228"
	  		}
		}
	}

Examples

To run the example projects:

> git clone https://github.com/frankwallis/plugin-typescript.git
> cd plugin-typescript
> npm install
> cd examples/react  		// or examples/angular2 or examples/angular
