Use TypeScript compiler from node

Question

It\'s pretty easy to do this with coffee-script.

var coffee = require(\'coffee-script\');
coffee.compile(\"a = 1\");
//=> \'(function() {\\n  var a;\\n\\n  a

better-require could help you achieve this.

It lets you require() typescript files - no pre-compilation needed - and a bunch of other file formats (coffeescript, clojurescript, yaml, xml, etc.)

require('better-require')();
var myModule = require('./mymodule.ts');

Disclosure: I wrote better-require.
