Will Jasmine add support for TypeScript? #135

I really love Jasmine over Mocha. But Mocha has a better TS support.

It would be great if Jasmine also adds support for TypeScript, just like in Mocha: mocha --require ts-node/register.

You should be able to accomplish this right now by specifying a helperFile that does that require for you. The docs have an example but it isn't very discoverable for the general case. This obviously isn't quite as nice as a --require command line option.

I would be happy to review a pull requests to:

Update Jasmine-Npm to have a --require flag
Update the Jasmine docs site to make the helperFiles solution more discoverable.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using Jasmine!

Thanks. Doing require('ts-node/register') in a helper file solves the problem.

I will try my best to make a PR for --require flag.
