ts-project-bundle

A simple bundler for TypeScript projects using TypeScript project references.

This is a prototype! Please create an issue to give feedback.

Please seem my other repo for some examples TypeScript projects that demonstrate how to use project references.

Run it on your project

First install it:

npm install -g ts-project-bundle

Now navigate to your TypeScript project that uses TypeScript project references:

cd project-root/main-project

First compile your project and it's dependencies:

npx tsc --build

Note the use of the --build argument. This causes dependent projects to be built as well.

Now run ts-project-bundler against your main project:

ts-project-bundler --root=../ --project=./ --out=bundle

The root directory we are using is the parent directory of the main project. The root directory should contain the main project and all the libraries that the main project references.

The project directory is the main project directory. It is expected that this directory contains a tsconfig.json file that can be parsed to determine the referenced library projects.

The output directory is where to bundle the output. ts-project-bundle will copy tha main projects and the libraries it depends on to this otuput directory.

! Sorry this is a prototype and there's no graceful error handling yet. Please make sure your inputs are sane :-)

Build the test project

Clone this repo and then...

cd ts-project-bundle/test/test-project
npm install 
npx tsc --build
ts-project-bundle --root=../ --project=./ --out=../../out

Running it in development

Clone this repo and then...

cd ts-project-bundle
npm install
npm run start:dev
