Does TypeScript provide an explicit Public API for NodeJS Module Access?

Question

From within a node app I would like to do:

var typeScript = require(\'typescript\'); 

typeScript.compile(\'...\')

I\'m looking to implemen

Currently it is not possible to achieve a compilation just by having a require and calling compile. If you can look at the harness.ts there is a compiler module that provides a rather simple way of doing it but I would suggest you to call tsc externally.

///
import exec = module('child_process');

var child = exec.exec('tsc foo.ts',
  function (error, stdout, stderr) {
    if (error !== null) {
      console.log('exec error: ' + error);
    }
});

I believe this would do the job.
