Typescript 4J

This project Java library to compile Typescript files to Javascript files

Dependency

Grab it from maven:

 <dependency>
      <groupId>com.mangofactory</groupId>
      <artifactId>typescript4j</artifactId>
      <version>0.4.0</version>
 </dependency>

The below gives a simple example that compiles a very simple snippet:

// Instantiate the compiler:
TypescriptCompiler compiler = new TypescriptCompiler();

// Compile a string:
String output = compiler.compile("class Greeter { greeting: string; }");

// Or, compile and output to a file:
compiler.compile(new File("example.ts"), new File('output.js'));


// Compile using ES5 features:
TypescriptCompiler compiler = new TypescriptCompiler();
compiler.setEcmaScriptVersion(EcmaScriptVersion.ES5);
... etc ...

Credit

This project is HEAVILY borrowed from other really really smart people and projects.

Specifically, thanks to:

• LessCss-Java
• Typescript Compile

These projects made implementing this compiler very simple.

Intent

The goal of this project is to make Typescript compilation possible from Java, without a dependency on npm or node.

It's used in Bakehouse to facilitate server-side on-demand compilation of Typescript.

This project doesn't intend to be a replacement for the typescript compiler. Also, the primary focus of this project is not performance.
