TSUN - TypeScript Upgraded Node

TSUN, a TypeScript Upgraded Node, supports a REPL and interpreter for TypeScript. When invoked without ts file argument, TSUN works as a repl where you can type in expression. When you pass ts file to TSUN in command line argument, TSUN will automatically run it with invisible compilation.

Feature:

• TS 1.6 support
• Tab-completion support
• Multiple Line Mode
• Paste Mode
• Definition Lookup
• directly execute TypeScript application like node
• Vim-Worksheet support
• And hidden feature for your exploration

Install:

npm install -g tsun

Usage:

• Use it as repl: tsun
• Use it as interpreter: tsun path/to/app.ts
• Other repl command can be accessed by typing :help
• Command Line options can be viewd by passing -h or --help option

Note:

When used as interpreter, tsun will create a temporary directory as output directory and create a node process to execute compiled js. So it is usually a problem to correctly resolve node_modules path or definition file like *.d.ts. Currently, tsun make two symbolic links for node_modules and typings directories in temporary directory, conventionally.

Custom definition files and JavaScript library support will be added in next releases.
