How to setup typescript development workflow in visual studio 2013?

Question

I am using the typescript 0.9.1.1 in visual studio 2013 preview. I have a couple of questions about typescript development workflow.

1: How to let visual studio compile all typescript files into only one javascript source file.

2: How to generate the minified javascript file?

3: Could we have google closure "exportsymbol" feature in the typescript? If I want to all symbols in my_public_api.ts is kept as they are and all other symbol names should be obfuscated.

Answer 1

1.) How to let visual studio compile all typescript files into only one javascript source file.

You need to add the section <TypeScriptOutFile>Some.js</TypeScriptOutFile> to your project file manually.

2) How to generate the minified javascript file?

TypeScript compiler cannot do this. Use uglify.js OR google closure OR WebEssentials can do this for you.

3.) Could we have google closure "exportsymbol" feature in the typescript? If I want to all symbols in my_public_api.ts is kept as they are and all other symbol names should be obfuscated.

TypeScript compiler does not do any minification / obfuscation.
