grmlin / meteor-typescript Goto Github PK

First, thanks for writing this library!

I had some issues installing the library. The directions were pretty spot on except it might be worth noting in the readme that on Windows 7 64-bit there are a few additional things to consider.

First, Python 2 needs to be installed and 'C:\Python27' added to your Windows environment PATH variable in order for 'npm install -g exec-sync' to work.
Second, I had to execute 'npm link exec-sync' in a console run as an administrator, because Meteor does not recognize the default install directory of 'C:\Users[user]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules'. Also, it is important to note that you must be navigated to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Meteor\lib\node_modules' for it to link node_modules to the correct location.

If you could add these notes to your ReadMe, it may help others as they install the library.

Thanks again!
Nick

Would be great to add source-map support as explained here :

This project is a typescript IDE, written in Typescript... He uses the compiler services API, instead of shelling to run the compiler.

I'm not 100% positive, but it looks like he generated a typescript.d.ts file for type information, and a tsc.js file without the immediate build-call... I'm not 100% sure though.
