Try it Option Online

We already have set up TypeScript programming online, so that you can execute all the available examples online at the same time when you are doing your theory work. This gives you confidence in what you are reading and to check the result with different options. Feel free to modify any example and execute it online.

Try the following example using our online compiler option available at CodingGround

On compiling, it will generate following JavaScript code.

For most of the examples given in this tutorial, you will find a Try it option in our website code sections at the top right corner, that will take you to the online compiler. So just make use of it and enjoy your learning.

In this chapter, we will discuss how to install TypeScript on Windows platform. We will also explain how to install the Brackets IDE.

TypeScript ─ Try it Option Online

You may test your scripts online by using The TypeScript at www.typescriptlang.org/Playground. The online editor shows the corresponding JavaScript emitted by the compiler.

You may try the following example using Playground.

On compiling , it will generate following JavaScript code.

The output of the above program is given below −

Local Environment Setup

Typescript is an Open Source technology. It can run on any browser, any host, and any OS. You will need the following tools to write and test a Typescript program −

A Text Editor

The text editor helps you to write your source code. Examples of a few editors include Windows Notepad, Notepad++, Emacs, vim or vi, etc. Editors used may vary with Operating Systems.

The TypeScript Compiler

The TypeScript compiler is itself a .ts file compiled down to JavaScript (.js) file. The TSC (TypeScript Compiler) is a source-to-source compiler (transcompiler / transpiler).

The TSC generates a JavaScript version of the .ts file passed to it. In other words, the TSC produces an equivalent JavaScript source code from the Typescript file given as an input to it. This process is termed as transpilation.

However, the compiler rejects any raw JavaScript file passed to it. The compiler deals with only .ts or .d.ts files.

Installing Node.js

Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side JavaScript. Node.js is required to run JavaScript without a browser support. It uses Google V8 JavaScript engine to execute code. You may download Node.js source code or a pre-built installer for your platform. Node is available here − https://nodejs.org/en/download

Installation on Windows

Follow the steps given below to install Node.js in Windows environment.

Step 1 − Download and run the .msi installer for Node.

Step 2 − To verify if the installation was successful, enter the command node –v in the terminal window.

Step 3 − Type the following command in the terminal window to install TypeScript.

Installation on Mac OS X

To install node.js on Mac OS X, you can download a pre-compiled binary package which makes a nice and easy installation. Head over to http://nodejs.org/ and click the install button to download the latest package.

Install the package from the .dmg by following the install wizard which will install both node and npm. npm is Node Package Manager which facilitates installation of additional packages for node.js.

Installation on Linux

You need to install a number of dependencies before you can install Node.js and NPM.

  • Ruby and GCC. You’ll need Ruby 1.8.6 or newer and GCC 4.2 or newer.

  • Homebrew. Homebrew is a package manager originally designed for Mac, but it’s been ported to Linux as Linuxbrew. You can learn more about Homebrew at http://brew.sh/ and Linuxbrew at http://brew.sh/linuxbrew

Once these dependencies are installed, you may install Node.js by using the following command on the terminal −

IDE Support

Typescript can be built on a plethora of development environments like Visual Studio, Sublime Text 2, WebStorm/PHPStorm, Eclipse, Brackets, etc. Visual Studio Code and Brackets IDEs are discussed here. The development environment used here is Visual Studio Code (Windows platform).

Visual Studio Code

This is an open source IDE from Visual Studio. It is available for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows platforms. VScode is available at − https://code.visualstudio.com/

Installation on Windows

Step 1 − Download Visual Studio Code for Windows.

Step 2 − Double-click on VSCodeSetup.exe to launch the setup process. This will only take a minute.

Step 3 − A screenshot of the IDE is given below.

Step 4 − You may directly traverse to the file’s path by right clicking on the file → open in command prompt. Similarly, the Reveal in Explorer option shows the file in the File Explorer.

Installation on Mac OS X

Visual Studio Code’s Mac OS X specific installation guide can be found at

Installation on Linux

Linux specific installation guide for Visual Studio Code can be found at

Brackets

Brackets is a free open-source editor for web development, created by Adobe Systems. It is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Brackets is available at http://brackets.io/

TypeScript Extensions for Brackets

Brackets supports extensions for adding extra functionality via the Extension Manager. The following steps explain installing TypeScript extensions using the same.

  • Post installation, click on the extension manager icon on the right-hand side of the editor. Enter typescript in the search box.

  • Install the Brackets TSLint and Brackets TypeScript plugins.

You can run DOS prompt / shell within Brackets itself by adding one more extension Brackets Shell.

Upon installation, you will find an icon of shell on the right-hand side of the editor . Once you click on the icon, you will see the shell window as shown below −

Note − Typescript is also available as a plugin for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 environments (https://www.typescriptlang.org/#Download).VS 2015 and above includes Typescript plugin by default.

Now, you are all set!!!

The plugin uses an IO wrapper around the TypeScript language services to provide an enhanced Sublime Text experience when working with TypeScript code.

Requirements

The plug-in uses Node.js to run the TypeScript server. The plug-in looks for node in the PATH environment variable (which is inherited from Sublime). If the 'node_path' setting is present, this will override the PATH environment variable and the plug-in will use the value of the 'node_path' setting as the node executable to run. See more information in the tips.

Note: Using different versions of TypeScript

This plugin can be configured to load an alternate version of TypeScript.This is typically useful for trying out nightly builds, or prototyping with custom builds.To do that, update the Settings - User file with the following:

Installation

If using Package Control for Sublime Text, simply install the TypeScript package.

Alternatively, you can clone the repo directly into your Sublime plugin folder. For example, for Sublime Text 3 on a Mac this would look something like:

And on Windows:

(--depth 1 downloads only the current version to reduce the clone size.)Note if you are using the portable version of Sublime Text, the location will be different. (See http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/basic_concepts.html#the-data-directory for more info).

IMPORTANT If you already have a package called TypeScript installed, either remove this first, or clone this repo to a different folder, else module name resolution can break the plugin.

Platform support

OS:

The plugin has identical behavior across Windows, Mac, and Linux;

Sublime Text version:

The plugin supports both ST2 and ST3. However, some features are only available in ST3:

  • Tool tips
  • Error list

On Windows with ST2, you may see a 'plugin delay' message upon startup. This happens because ST2 does not call 'plugin_loaded()', so the TypeScript server process is started from within an event handler.

Where possible, the use of a Sublime Text 3 build >= 3070 is recommended, as this provides a popup API used for tool tips.

Features

The below features are available via the keyboard shortcuts shown, or via the Command Palette (^ means the ctrl key):

Project System

The plugin supports two kinds of projects:

Inferred project

For loose TS files opened in Sublime, the plugin will create an inferred project and include every files that the current file refers to.

Configured project

The plugin also supports representing a TypeScript project via a tsconfig.json file. If a file of this name is detected in a parent directory, then its settings will be used by the plugin.

Reporting Issues

Issues are being tracked via the GitHub Issues page for the project, and tagged with the appropriate issue type. Please do log issues for any bugs you find or enhancements you would like to see (after searching to see if such as issue already exists). We are excited to get your feedback and work with the community to make this plugin as awesome as possible.

Note about .tmLanguage related issues

As the TypeScript and TypeScriptReact .tmLanguage definition files are shared across multiple editors including Sublime Text, Atom-TypeScript, and Visual Studio Code, we decided to create a dedicated repo for these files to combine the efforts for improvement.The new repo is at https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-TmLanguage, and all future tmLanguage-related issues will be tracked there and ported back to this repo.
