To celebrate the just-announced project to make typescript 10x faster by rewriting it in Go, I have just published version 1.0 of the community meteor package for typescript compilation: refapp:meteor-typescript.
This package has been used by us for a large typescript project for more than 4 years and is battle tested so it’s about time it got a release version.
It provides the following improvements over the core meteor typescript compiler:
- Outputs type compilation errors as part of the build process. Can be configured to fail in a CI environment if your code doesn’t pass the typescript compilation.
- Uses settings in tsconfig.json (overrides a few, like “incremental”).
To update, you need to meteor remove refapp:meteor-typescript && meteor add refapp:meteor-typescript
