如何在电子中使用打字稿而无需编译？

Question

So it looks like with newer electrons you can just start it off in typescript right away with

electron main.ts

1. Though you can't do electron ./main and you'd still need to require('./file.ts').
2. And I noticed that when I build it the .exe still complains that it needs a main.js file.

How can I solve these two issues without going with a compiler (just load typescript directly)?

Answer 1

Electron is not supposed to execute TypeScript code directly so you have to convert it to Javascript before to be able to use it in electron. By the way here a useful link to refer: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/typescript
