Use Typescript module support about javascript HOT 6 CLOSED

@WorldMaker thank you for your kind response. I was actually thinking about the same, and was going to look into it later this week, however since you're experiencing breakages, I will try to push a fix as soon as possible!

Luckily in this case it was a build server canary warning that I can ignore for now. :) (The real lesson for me right now is that the build server is currently ignoring package-lock.json.) I've been using Typescript for a long while now, so feel free to reach out if you want a hand.

Phew! So I just pushed out the release with the fixes. The downside is that I had to remove global browser support. Any thoughts on non-hacky ways to support that functionality?

from javascript.

My first thought is to just drop global browser support, it seems better these days to encourage fellow developers to use a module system, then to let them continue to avoid them in 2017.

That said, I've seen a few options. The obvious and it will feel like a hack is just to always set the global: ;(window || global || {} as any).ulid = factory(prng).

A growing pattern is to output only/primarily ES2015 modules, use @std/esm to support the CommonJS-only versions of NodeJS, and use rollup (or babel or webpack, but for libraries it seems like rollup is the most common choice and easiest to configure to this particular library need) to build a dist JS file with a global export build from the ES2015 modules. (That just leaves AMD users out in the cold, which is possibly fine in 2017, but Typescript's --outfile support for a concatenated single file AMD dist JS file works pretty well there; you could have a default tsconfig.json for ES2015 modules and a secondary tsconfig.amd.json for AMD output.)

So I used parts of your advise. I'm using tsc to create the ES6+ compatible file, and the typings file. Then I use rollup to output ES+ compatible file which works with CommonJS, AMD, and the browser. Let me know if you have any trouble with it!

Looks good to me. Thanks.
