ARTICLE AD BOX
I have this file, pasted from a tutorial (and let's face it, the disparity between docs, tuts, and examples is astounding):
/scripts/tsconfig.json:
{ "compilerOptions": { "emitDecoratorMetadata": true, "experimentalDecorators": true, "module": "commonjs", "noEmitOnError": true, "noImplicitAny": false, "outDir": "../wwwroot/appScripts/", "removeComments": false, "sourceMap": true, "target": "es5", "moduleResolution": "node" }, "exclude": [ "node_modules", "typings/index", "typings/index.d.ts" ] }Options are set to compile on save, but whenever I save a TypeScript file, the JavaScript output ends up 'under', or 'attached to', the source file:
TypeScript | --test.ts | --test.js, and that is physically in the same directory as the source, /TypeScript. If tsconfig.json is missing, the compiler complains, but when it's present, and it definitely is, the compiler ignores the "outDir": "../wwwroot/appScripts/" setting.
I am really to new to Gulp, but the Gulp task looks OK to me:
var tsProject = ts.createProject('scripts/tsconfig.json'); gulp.task('ts', function (done) { //var tsResult = tsProject.src() var tsResult = gulp.src([ "scripts/*.ts" ]) .pipe(ts(tsProject), undefined, ts.reporter.fullReporter()); return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot/appScripts')); });
