JSPM Bundle with TypeScript transpiler

Question

I\'m getting more into System.js and JSPM, where I\'ve come to the point where I want to bundle my TypeScript source code into a JavaScript bundle.

Now I can bundle my g

You can do it with JSPM builder. You can bundle all typescript files and bundlesfx to one single file, configurating jspm.conf.js like that:

System.config({
    defaultJSExtensions: true,
    transpiler: "typescript",
    typescriptOptions: {
        "module": "amd",
        "experimentalDecorators": true
    },
    ...
    packages: {
        "app": {
            "main": "index",
            "defaultExtension": "ts",
            "meta": {
                "*.ts": {
                    "loader": "ts"
                }
            }
        }
});

and then run :

jspm bundle-sfx src/index dist/app.js

Answer 2

I believe the question is getting out of date. I just tried this with JSPM 0.17.0-beta.31 with plugin-typescript (https://github.com/frankwallis/plugin-typescript), and "jspm bundle" did indeed pre-translate the TypeScript for me.

"jspm bundle-sfx" is now "jspm build". Because the original accepted answer suggested switching to bundle-sfx (build), which should not be necessary now, I'd like to clarify the decision of whether to use bundle or build. I find bundle to be more useful for speeding up development, whereas build can produce a smaller file with more optimizations, so you may want to use bundle during development and build when you release. Be aware that if you use build on a library, code that imports your library will be unable to share its dependencies.
