typescript-batch-compiler

usecase: a batch, in contrast to a project, of ts files that must be watched and compiled. These all have individual scopes, for example see this blog post about Polymer 2 with TypeScript.

Essentially, this is a wrapper around node-typescript-compiler that watches TypeScript files in a directory and runs the TypeScript compiler when one of the files changes with one important distinction from the normal compiler: the files are not considered to be in each others scope.

This is particularly convenient when building Polymer 2 components with TypeScript. Each TypeScript file is scoped by its Polymer component and are not one shared project. For more information read this article (work in progress).
