Typescript

[rhg1968]

This is a question about using typescript with Nativescript. I created the hello world example and it worked correctly, but I wanted to see how it would work with typescript. I decided to change the main-page.js to main-page.ts. This broke the application and the taps that were being counted on the screen now show with just the binding expression {{message}}. I even tried changing the the new ts file to use import and export typescript functions without any luck.

Does the CLI automatically compile the ts files into javascript ?

I had the exact same experience. Did you find a resolution to this?

I didn't find a solution unfortunately. I closed this because I posted it instead on the Native script forums.

Hello @rhg1968, @george-jones,

You are right that at the moment we do not auto-compile ts files. I am preparing a fix for it.

We have already started preparing for releasing version 0.10 of the CLI and my fix probably won't be in it. You'll need to wait a little longer or work with master.
