ts-sofort

Run TypeScript code on Node.js quickly.

• It first tranpiles and bundles your TypeScript code using esbuild (which should be quite fast), then immediately runs the output JavaScript code.
• It also prints the time taken for both code conversion and execution. If your entry point has a default export of any Promise type, ts-sofort awaits until the Promise is resolved.
• At default, module paths that do not start with dot . (i.e. the absolute paths) are marked as external and will not be bundled. The RegExp filter for this can be configured via options (the expression must be valid in Go language as well).

CLI

Use ts-sofort command and pass the entry point filepath of your TypeScript code.

Command:
  ts-sofort [options] <filepath>
  ts-sofort < -h | --help | -v | --version >
options:
  --external <pattern>  Regular expression string (escaped) for external module paths. (optional)
  --preserveTmp         Do not remove temporal file. (optional)

For example in your package.json, something like this:

{
  "scripts": {
    "my-script": "ts-sofort path/to/my/script.ts",
  }
}

On CLI you can't pass esbuild options (which you don't need to in most cases).

API

import { run } from "ts-sofort";

const entryPoint = "path/to/your/script.ts";
const options = {};         // not required
const esbuildOptions = {};  // not required

run(entryPoint, options, esbuildOptions);

See type declaration for option fields.
