Better TypeScript playground

Primary LanguageJavaScript

A better TypeScript playground, forked from Agent Cooper for typescriptlang.org

This branch is meant to be a hold-over until we get a new website up and running where it's integration will be different.

Getting started

yarn install
yarn setup
yarn start

Updating TypeScript

Playground relies on UNPKG to fetch monaco-editor (contains typescript through monaco-typescript package).

In case if monaco-editor is not updated to the latest TypeScript, the latest version can be built with npm run get-typescript latest and served locally. If you run into errors, the latest monaco version may be incompatible with the latest typescript version, in which case you'll need to update monaco-typescript upstream, or apply a patch locally (see the # Patches section in get-typescript.sh.

In case you want to serve some specific version of TypeScript locally you should run npm run get-typescript <version>. For example, to serve TypeScript version 2.8.3 you should run npm run get-typescript 2.8.3; npm start
