@babel/plugin-transform-typescript
Advanced tools
The @babel/plugin-transform-typescript package is a Babel plugin that allows Babel to parse and transform TypeScript code into JavaScript. It strips out type annotations and compiles the code down to a version of JavaScript that can run in current and older browsers or environments.
TypeScript Syntax Transformation
Transforms TypeScript syntax by removing type annotations to produce valid JavaScript code. The code sample shows a TypeScript variable with a type annotation that would be stripped out.
const x: number = 10;TypeScript Namespaces
Handles TypeScript namespaces and transforms them into a format that can be understood by JavaScript environments. The code sample demonstrates a namespace declaration that would be transformed.
namespace MyNamespace { export const x: number = 10; }Enums
Compiles TypeScript enums into objects that preserve the enum semantics in JavaScript. The code sample shows an enum that would be converted into a JavaScript object.
enum Directions { Up, Down, Left, Right }The official TypeScript compiler that converts TypeScript code to JavaScript. It provides type checking along with the transformation, which @babel/plugin-transform-typescript does not do.
A TypeScript loader for webpack. It works in conjunction with the TypeScript compiler to transpile TypeScript files in webpack builds, similar to how @babel/plugin-transform-typescript works with Babel.
Another TypeScript loader for webpack that aims to be faster than ts-loader. It also provides Babel-like transformation of TypeScript code but is specifically designed for webpack's module bundling.
