Run a TypeScript interpreter in an inferior process window

This repo is directly forked from js-comint to support TypeScript instead.

ts-comint depends on the following components:

• NodeJS
• TypeScript REPL

To use ts-comint these components must be installed on your system.

To install these run the following commands, or whatever equivalents your system provides:

apt-get install node
npm install -g tsun

To install it all you need to do is issue the following command:

M-x package-install<RET>ts-comint

You can also download the source and use that directly.

To do that, place the ts-comint.el-file somewhere (say $HOME/mylisp/) and then insert the following code in your $HOME/.emacs.d/init.el-file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/mylisp/")
(require 'ts-comint)

After installation, do M-x run-ts to create a comint buffer with the Typescript interpreter.

You can add the following couple of lines to your .emacs to take advantage of cool key bindings for sending things to the Typescript interpreter inside of typescript-mode.

(add-hook 'typescript-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "C-x C-e") 'ts-send-last-sexp)
            (local-set-key (kbd "C-M-x") 'ts-send-last-sexp-and-go)
            (local-set-key (kbd "C-c b") 'ts-send-buffer)
            (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-b") 'ts-send-buffer-and-go)
            (local-set-key (kbd "C-c l") 'ts-load-file-and-go)))

ts-comint is ~repl-toggle~ compatible. To configure, add run-ts for typescript-mode to rtog/mode-repl-alist like so:

;; when configuring all repl toggle mapping
(setq rtog/mode-repl-alist '((typescript-mode . run-ts)))
;; or later
(push '(typescript-mode . run-ts) rtog/mode-repl-alist)
