typescript

Magic

Basically we run makeTypeScriptGlobal.ts (both in parent and child) to export module ts to the variable global.ts so we can just use ts. without any imports. This isn't ideal but if you are willing to do more work to make it easier/safer to use the compiler source send a PR :P.

How to update the compiler source

• get a copy of microsoft/typescript and checkout master.
• Copy the compiler and services folders from the TypeScript master to here.
• Delete the following:
  • compiler/tsc.ts as that is not a part of services proper and is used for command line handling which we don't need.
  • compiler/tsconfig.json
  • services/tsconfig.json

Notes

When in debug mode we use the files from these folders. The order of how the files in compiler is run in the vm seems very touchy so try to copy that from the services tsconfig.json.

package.json TypeScript vs this

We use package.json as its binary as faster. We use the files in this folder to provide the type information for package.json stuff. You can enable a value from debug.ts to use these files at runtime instead of package.json file for testing out compiler modifications.
