TypeScript loader for webpack

Usage

Installation

npm install ts-loader

Upgrading

Take advantage of the Changelog and Upgrade Guide.

Running

Use webpack like normal, including webpack --watch and webpack-dev-server, or through another build system using the Node.js API.

Configuration

1. Add .ts as a resolvable extension.
2. Configure all files with a .ts extension to be handled by ts-loader.

module.exports = {
    entry: './app.ts',
    resolve: {
        extensions: ['', '.webpack.js', '.web.js', '.js', '.ts']
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            { test: /\.ts$/, loader: 'ts-loader' }
        ]
    }
}

Options

Most TypeScript-related options should be set using a tsconfig.json file. There are a few loader-specific options you can set although in general you should not need to.

compiler (string) (default='typescript')

Allows use of TypeScript compilers other than the official one. Should be set to the NPM name of the compiler.

instance (string)

Advanced option to force files to go through different instances of the TypeScript compiler. Can be used to force segregation between different parts of your code.

configFileName (string) (default=tsconfig.json)

Allows you to specify a custom configuration file.

Loading other resources and code splitting

Loading css and other resources is possible but you will need to make sure that you have defined the require function in a declaration file.

declare var require: {
    <T>(path: string): T;
    (paths: string[], callback: (...modules: any[]) => void): void;
    ensure: (paths: string[], callback: (require: <T>(path: string) => T) => void) => void;
};

Then you can simply require assets or chunks per the webpack documentation.

require('!style!css!./style.css');

React JSX

This loader supports using jsx-typescript. Simply install jsx-typescript and use the compiler=jsx-typescript option. Note that you will need to use ts-loader@0.3.x in order to use this as 0.4.x and above is not API-compatible.

You may also be interested in using ts-jsx-loader.

Building from source

tsd reinstall
npm install
tsc index.ts --module commonjs
