🛠️ How to use

With tsnite installed, you can use it directly in your terminal to run TypeScript files without needing to compile them first.

Run a TypeScript file

npx tsnite path/to/file.ts

This will execute the specified TypeScript file, allowing you to quickly test and run scripts during development.

💡 Tips & Best Practices

• Use with package.json scripts – integrate tsnite into npm or yarn scripts for a smoother workflow. Example:

  {
    "scripts": {
      //...
      "dev": "tsnite --watch --include-assets src/index.ts"
    }
  }

• Debugging with VS Code when debugging, you may need to configure outFiles in .vscode/launch.json to match the temporary output directory used by tsnite: Example:

  {
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
      {
        //...
        "outFiles": [
          "/tmp/tsnite/**/*.js",
          "C:\Users\<SeuUsuario>\AppData\Local\Temp"
        ] // Use one or the other, first for Linux, second for Windows
        // ...
      }
    ]
  }
