Compiling TypeScript applications
FAKE can be used to build a variety of different application types.
In this tutorial we are looking at the TypeScript support.
Consider a greetings.ts file:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
11:
12:
|
interface Person {
firstname: string;
lastname: string;
}
function greeter(person : Person) {
return "Hello, " + person.firstname + " " + person.lastname;
}
var user = {firstname: "Jane", lastname: "User"};
document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user);
|
Now create a build.fsx and run it via FAKE.exe:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:
10:
11:
12:
13:
|
#I @"../../tools/FAKE/tools/"
#r @"FakeLib.dll"
open Fake
open System
open TypeScript
Target "CompileTypeScript" (fun _ ->
!! "**/*.ts"
|> TypeScriptCompiler (fun p -> { p with OutputPath = "./out" })
)
RunTargetOrDefault "CompileTypeScript"
|
This small script will run all *.ts files through the TypeScript compiler and put them into the ./out/ folder. In this case we will find a greetings.js:
1:
2:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
|
function greeter(person) {
return "Hello, " + person.firstname + " " + person.lastname;
}
var user = { firstname: "Jane", lastname: "User" };
document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user);
