TypeScript: Using with NPM

Using TypeScript on OSX with NPM

• Install: npm install -g typescript
• Transpile:
• tsc [.ts filename]
• tsc --p ./
  NB: Cannot use --p (project/tsconfig location with a filename)
• Install declarations e.g. to use JQuery:
• Nuget: nuget install jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped
• npm: Using Typings for DefinitelyTyped
  NB: Ensure you're in your typing's parent directory
• npm install typings --save-dev
• typings search --name jquery
• take note of the 'source' column e.g. 'dt', you may need it
• typings install dt~jquery --save --global
• Use it, either:
• declaration files: include /// <reference path="../typings/index.d.ts" />
• or include in tsconfig: filesGlob": ["typings/index.d.ts"]
• Include tsconfig.json e.g. below (see compiler options)
• If you're using Gulp see also ntypescript

tsconfig.json:
