typescript-plus

TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript (For more information, please visit : typescriptlang.org). The typescript-plus project provides extra features to the original typescript compiler, such as emitting reflection data of class, get/set accessor optimization and conditional compilation.

Installing

First make sure you have installed the latest version of node.js (You may need to restart your computer after this step).

For use as a command line app:

npm install -g typescript-plus

For programmatic use:

npm install typescript-plus

Usage

##Extra Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
emitReflection	boolean	false	Emit the reflection data of class .
accessorOptimization	boolean	false	If an accessor contains only one call to another method, use that method as the accessor method directly.
defines	Object		Replace the global variables with the constants defined in the "defines"" object.

Note: The "defines" option is only allowed in tsconfig.json, and not through command-line switches.

Example tsconfig.json file:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "sourceMap": true,
        "emitReflection": true,
        "accessorOptimization": true,
        "defines": {
            "DEBUG": false,  // the value can be boolean, number or string.
            "RELEASE": true
        }

    },  
    "files": [
        "core.ts",
