ts-publish

ts-publish

This package provides a collection of node scripts to aid in the deployment of typescript projects.

Configuration

You may provide a configuration file called ts-publish.json. This file has the following structure:

[
  {
    "name": "project-name",
    "files": [
      "src/file1.ts",
      "src/file2.ts"
    ],
    "libraries": [
      "files/to/always/be/included.ts"
    ],
    "compilerOptions": {
      "outDir": "./build/lib",
      "declaration": true
    }
  },
  {
    "name": "build-tools",
    "files": [
      "build-tools/ts-hook.ts",
      "build-tools/karma.config.ts",
      "build-tools/webpack.config.ts"
    ],
    "compilerOptions": {
      "outDir": "./build"
    }
  }
]

In the above example we have an array declaring two projects. One is the main project and the other one is a "build-tools" project which is in charge of compiling all of our project tools. Note that on the "build-tools" project we did not include the "libraries" option. This is optional and should only be used if you want certain files to always be included in the transpilation. One example of such files would be files that contains declarations.

At the moment all the paths are set relative to the root directory. We should also note that each ts-publish.json file reads the tsconfig.json file to look for the compilerOptions. These options should be general enough to fit every project.

ts-compile

This is meant to be a replacement for tsc. To use it we need to make sure to have a ts-publish.json file available.

To compile all the files for build-tools do

ts-compile build-tools

If the configuration file has a different name we can specify it

ts-compile build-tools --config path/to/config-file.json
