I am developing a web application in Visual Studio 2012 and I have a solution with a few projects. Also, I am using the TypesScript plugin (version 1.0RC) and I would like to keep all TypeScript development in a separate project while only referencing the auto-generated JavaScript files in projects that actually need to use them. To do so, I have tried a couple of approaches but I'm not completely satisfied with none of them.
Consider the directory tree of the two projects below:
WebProject
|
– /img
– /includes
– /js
– index.html
– web.config
TypeScriptProject
|
– file1.ts
– file2.ts
I want to keep the updated version of all auto-generated JavaScript files from TypeScriptProject
(in this case, file1.js
and file2.js
) inside the js
folder of WebProject
. Here's what I've tried so far:
WebProject
: this doesn't work since a new copy of the file is created in the js
folder. This new copy won't reflect future changes made to the original TypeScript file. WebProject
: this seemed to work at first using some specific settings , but then I realized that it doesn't work in all environments for some reason I am not aware of yet. If anyone has a better solution in mind (or in use), it would be greatly appreciated.
You could use grunt-ts with the --outDir
option : https://github.com/grunt-ts/grunt-ts#compiler-support
Here is a sample grunt file to get you started: https://github.com/grunt-ts/grunt-ts/blob/master/sample/Gruntfile.js
Starting from VS 2013 Update 2 RC, now you can edit a TypeScript project settings in order to do exactly what was described in the question.
To do so, go to the project properties, then select the TypeScript Build
tab. In the Output
area, check the option Redirect JavaScript output to directory
and define which directory you want to copy your JavaScript files to.
