@nitwhiz you can probably use a webpack plugin to transpile
-
@mjones44 exactly my point, why not use TS for the stuff you work on and let everyone else use standard js
-
@beegC0de oh, because the compiled JS is unreadable, that would be a major reason why not (if that's what you meant?)
-
@mjones44 just don't minify?
-
@beegC0de yeah but it won't even have meaningful variable names and the design patterns will look really weird no matter what for generated JS code
-
@mjones44 https://typescriptlang.org/play/ pretty sure it's targeting ES5 so if you wanted to have es6 class syntax you probably have to specify --target "ES2015" using the actual compiler
-
@beegC0de huh. I guess I stand corrected.
-
@mjones44 actually these two are probably what you want if you want es6
One using Babel:
https://babeljs.io/en/repl/...= -

@musician doing so, actually. But jsdoc is pretty lame if you have to add all the types..^^
