wish to run a ts file #3

Hello my friend,

And a big thank for letting me try typescript in the acode in my pocket.

I'd kindly ask to improve your plugin a little to either :-

let it play the ts code in the editor by compiling it on the fly (the ▶️ icon should be added),
or at least reload the resulting js if it's already in acode, so that it could be played from it's own editor.

It may help ts beginners like me that are not yet sure if and how the code would run.

hoping it may help, Alex

I guess second one is already here. But Your first suggestion is good and applicable in this case , soon I will add a play ▶️ icon which will basically compile ts file and run it inside acode js console

Thank you my friend for such a fast reply.

Indeed I tried the second option by myself, hoping acode would detect the newer js and offer to reload it, but it didn't.

If you go the ▶️ approach, will it be possible to compile the ts as it sits in the buffer, possibly in a temporary file, and not force the save, as the user may wish to only test changes before actually saving?

Thank you my friend for such a fast reply.

I'm currently engaged in another project, which is why I've been active here and noticed your notification about the issue.

If you go the ▶️ approach, will it be possible to compile..........

When you click the play icon, it will compile and save the JavaScript output in a cache file (or potentially keep it in memory). Then, when the user taps and holds the play button, it will compile and save the output to a specified location.
