@basarat LGTM!

[basarat]

@teppeis is typescript-1.5 branch on NPM?

[basarat]

PS: thanks for adding me as a collab ❤️

[teppeis]

oh, sorry. this pr is for 1.5...

[basarat]

oh, sorry. this pr is for 1.5...

Yeah. Reason is that TS 1.4 completely bails and doesn't give any output considering this a syntactic error.

TS 1.5 on the other hand does give an output.

@basarat not yet on npm. WIP in #4.

[basarat]

Cool. Fortunately <reference tags are not required anymore now that we tsconfig. So #15 can wait a bit longer.

[teppeis]

@basarat thanks for your investigation!
I'll complete #4 and ship it as v2.0.0-alpha after microsoft/TypeScript#2484 is merged.

Does typescript-simple support tsconfig.json? In particular does it respect files specified? I would like to avoid referencing .d.ts files using /// <reference path="..." /> and instead specify them in files in tsconfig.json. Is that possible?

[teppeis]

@midinastasurazz typescript-simple doesn't support for referencing .d.ts. sorry.

[midinastasurazz]

@teppeis Thanks for the info. What about tsconfig.json? Could the files option be used for referencing .d.ts files? It seems to be supported by TypeScript since 1.5. So does typescript-simple essentially disregard tsconfig.json?

[teppeis]

@midinastasurazz Loading tsconfig.json is a function of tsc command, not of TypeScript Language.
Even if typescript-simple can load it, doesn't support for multiple files structure including d.ts.
