Compiling TypeScript applications
FAKE can be used to build a variety of different application types. In this tutorial we are looking at the TypeScript support.
Consider a greetings.ts file:
interface Person {
firstname: string;
lastname: string;
}
function greeter(person : Person) {
return "Hello, " + person.firstname + " " + person.lastname;
}
var user = {firstname: "Jane", lastname: "User"};
document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user); |
Now create a build.fsx and run it via FAKE.exe:
1: 2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9: 10: 11: 12: 13: |
#I @"../../tools/FAKE/tools/" #r @"FakeLib.dll" open Fake open System open TypeScript Target "CompileTypeScript" (fun _ -> !! "**/*.ts" |> TypeScriptCompiler (fun p -> { p with OutputPath = "./out" }) ) RunTargetOrDefault "CompileTypeScript" |
This small script will run all *.ts files through the TypeScript compiler and put them into the ./out/ folder. In this case we will find a greetings.js:
function greeter(person) {
return "Hello, " + person.firstname + " " + person.lastname;
}
var user = { firstname: "Jane", lastname: "User" };
document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user); |
