TypeScript Continuous Integration

Question

Does anyone have a good strategy for adding TypeScript to a continuous integration system?

I'm planning on compiling it in my build and then running unit tests against it's generated JavaScript.

However, I'd like to add code standards checking for the TypeScript. Any ideas?

Thanks.

The TypeScript team are deliberately reserving judgement on the official coding standards because they want to see how people use the language in real life. Anecdotally, people seem to be following the JavaScript naming conventions, i.e. ModuleName, ClassName, functionName.

You can write your unit tests in TypeScript (tsUnit) or JavaScript (Jasmine, QUnit et al).

How you integrate it with CI depends a little on the framework and on the CI platform. I have integrated tsUnit tests with Visual Studio and TFS using the MS Script Engine to execute the tests. If you want more details on this particular set up I am happy to share.
