Hiding .js files when having .ts

Question

I just downaloade TypeScript for Visual Studio 2015. I am writing .ts file and it created .js file in the same level in solution. Does anyone know how to hide the .js file or have it 'inside' .ts so I could just expand .ts tree and see .js?

You can configure your project to create .js files in a specific folder.

In VS 2015, you can set the build directory from "Redirect Javascript output to directory" in the typescript build section of your project properties page.

If you use a tsconfig.json the project property pages will all be grayed out but you can specify the directory in the tsconfig.json file:

 "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./built",
