typescript compiler plugin for component

one of the best things about component is having access to every file required to build your application before the build starts. the other best thing about component is having access to the dependency tree.

component-builder-typescript uses this information to minimise the number of files read and compiled which produces a highly optimised build.

when used in a watch task component-builder-typescript performs incremental builds, only compiling components which have changed and their dependents.

component-builder-typescript will generate an external definition file for your component (using dts-bundle) which can be used by your IDE or distributed with JavaScript.

component-builder-typescript uses version 1.4 of the typescript compiler

componentBuilderTypescript(options);

options:

by default component-builder-typescript will use typescript files found in the 'scripts' field of your component.json, but you can override this using the 'fields' property of the configuration options.

declaration files are generated for local components and components which have been linked using component link

you can specify the location of the generated external definition file like this:

{
    "name" : "component-builder-typescript-example",
    "typescript" : {
        "definition": "exports/component-builder-typescript-example.d.ts"
    },
    "dependencies" : {
        "component/jsdomify": "1.3"
    },
    "main" : "example/example.ts",
    "scripts" : [
        "exports/component-builder-typescript-example.d.ts",
        "example/_dependencies.d.ts",
        "example/example.ts",
        "example/example-types.d.ts"  
    ]
}
