Use script of ts instead of js.

[sarahshul]

Hi,

Is there a way to use a ts file instead of js file in the script attribute?

For example:

var svc = new Service({ name:'Hello World', description: 'The nodejs.org example web server.', script: 'C:\path\to\helloworld.ts' });

You can pass in whatever file extension you want, but you'd have to have a typescript interpretor and I don't think that will work.

Useless without typescript. Stuck in previous decades.

Is there no way to use this with a typescript project? If not what would be the most convenient way to do some sort of conversion into js to make it work?

Thanks

Folks, please remember Node doesn't support TypeScript. You have to use a build process, just like you would for any other Node project. This project wraps the output of your project/build process. It's not meant to be a TS compiler. Just use tsc like you would any other TS project.
