NameDescription
tsc script

Options

NameDescription
--allShow all compiler options
--generateTraceGenerates an event trace and a list of types
--helpGives local information for help on the CLI
--initInitializes a TypeScript project and creates a tsconfig.json file
--listFilesOnlyPrint names of files that are part of the compilation and then stop processing
--localeSet the language of the messaging from TypeScript. This does not affect emit
--project <path>Compile the project given the path to its configuration file, or to a folder with a tsconfig.json
--showConfigPrint the final configuration instead of building
--versionPrint the compiler's version
--buildBuild one or more projects and their dependencies, if out of date
--cleanDelete the outputs of all projects
--dryShow what would be built (or deleted, if specified with '--clean')

--verboseEnable verbose logging
--excludeDirectories <dir...>Remove a list of directories from the watch process
--excludeFiles <files...>Remove a list of files from the watch mode's processing

--allowUnreachableCodeDisable error reporting for unreachable code

--emitDeclarationOnlyOnly output d.ts files and not JavaScript files
--emitDecoratorMetadataEmit design-type metadata for decorated declarations in source files
--esModuleInteropEmit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables allowSyntheticDefaultImports for type compatibility
--exactOptionalPropertyTypesDifferentiate between undefined and not present when type checking
--experimentalDecoratorsEnable experimental support for TC39 stage 2 draft decorators
--explainFilesPrint files read during the compilation including why it was included
--extendedDiagnosticsOutput more detailed compiler performance information after building
--forceConsistentCasingInFileNamesEnsure that casing is correct in imports
--generateCpuProfileEmit a v8 CPU profile of the compiler run for debugging
