TypeScript for tslab

Changes from TypeScript

Base version: v5.1.3

• Exports findPrecedingToken and findNextToken from services/utilities.ts.
• Exports Completions.getCompletionsAtPosition from services/completions.ts with exportable arguments (getCompletionsAtPositionForTslab).
• Exports getDefaultTypeRoots from compiler/moduleNameResolver.ts
• Exports locals from SourceFile.
• Exports getDefaultTypeRoots from compiler/moduleNameResolver.ts.
• Defines ts.getQuickInfoAtPosition.
• Defines ts.getPreEmitDiagnosticsOfFiles.
• Remove "bin" from package.json.
• Remove "should be acknowledged when they change" from unittests/publicApi.ts to skip the compatibility validation.
• Add disableTopLevelAwait to the compiler options to support TLA properly in tslab.
• Add getNullTransformationContext to export nullTransformationContext.

Merge with a newer version of TypeScript

• Fetch a new release: git fetch upstream
• Back to "Updates for tslab" commit: git reset --hard HEAD@{2}
• Rebase the commit to the new tag: git rebase -i --onto v3.7.3 v3.7.2 master

Release

Build

npm ci && npm run gulp lint && npm run gulp runtests && npm run gulp LKG && npm run gulp clean

publish

Set the new version in package.json

yarn semver "3.6.4-tslab" -i prerelease --preid tslab

Then, build the compiler and run:

npm publish --access=public

Note that --access=public is necessary because Scoped packages are private by default.

Notes for TypeScript codebase

• Files included in typescript.js are defined in src/typescript.ts with import * as ts from "./_namespaces/ts";. For example, when we want to add a new file in src/services, add a reference to the new file in src/services/_namespaces/ts.ts.

TypeScript

TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
