typescriptangulartraceursystemjs

If I use TypeScript to create ES5 script, do I need a traceur script tag in my html?

I am using TypeScript 1.5 to generate ES5 script for a simple angular2 app.

Will I need to include both a script element referencing a module loader (such as SystemJS) AND a script element referencing traceur (such as the one below) in my index.html file?

<script src="https://github.jspm.io/jmcriffey/bower-traceur-runtime@0.0.91/traceur-runtime.js"></script>
script src="https://jspm.io/system@0.16.js"></script>

...Or do I only need the script element for SystemJS?

Solution

  • No, as far as I know traceur still is a dependency of angular2. There's an issue to remove it though, therefore in the future it'll be possible. Here you can find the issue for it if you want to track the progress.
