Gulp typescript tsconfig with Angular2

Question

I have problem with excluding folders in my app. I'm using a gulp typescript for compilation and tsconfig file. Problem is with node_modules folder, which is still compiling.

Here is my gulpfile:

var tsProject = ts.createProject('tsconfig.json', { typescript: require('typescript') });

gulp.task('tscompile', function () {
var tsResult = tsProject.src("./angular/**/*.ts") // instead of gulp.src(...)
    .pipe(ts(tsProject));

return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('./'));

});

tsconfig content:

 {
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "system",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "Scripts"
  ]
}

And my task runner console:

Every gulps are currently in latest version. Angular 2 is beta 7. Can You help me, where is problem? Very thanks.

Answer 1

Many of your errors can be fixed by referencing the browser.d.ts declaration file in the TypeScript file that calls bootstrap:

///<reference path="../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>

For the Scope errors, it's harder to say. What Scope class/interface are you trying to use?

Answer 2

From @MattScarpino's answer, the angular2 package includes the necessary definitions. Adding this reference line to any of my typescript files seemed to solve the problem:

///<reference path="../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>

I found I could also add the definitions to my list of source files in gulpfile.js so the reference wasn't in my typescript files:

gulp.task('ts', function (done) {    
    var tsResult = gulp.src([
        'node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts', // ADDED
        "scripts/*.ts"
    ])
      .pipe(ts(tsProject), undefined, ts.reporter.fullReporter());
    return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot/appScripts'));
});

Answer 3

In complement to the Matt's answer, you could try the following:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const ts = require('gulp-typescript');

var tsProject = ts.createProject('tsconfig.json', {
  typescript: require('typescript')
});

gulp.task('tscompile', function () {
  var tsResult = gulp.src('./app/**/*.ts')
                .pipe(ts(tsProject));
  return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('./'));
});

This allows me to compile all the files under my app folders.

Answer 4

If compiling just not work with gulp, but in an IDE like Visual Studio, the IDE could be a help to find out what reference you have to add to your bootstrap file.

In my case, the errors looked like this:

node_modules/@angular/core/src/linker/dynamic_component_loader.d.ts(113,139): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Promise'.

I went to that file in VS, followed the reference (F12) and came to the definition, that was in typings/globals/core-js/index.d.ts. So I added this as reference in my bootstap typescript file:

///<reference path="../../typings/globals/core-js/index.d.ts"/>
