In my WebStorm IDE, all .js
(and .jsx
) files in my project have an associated "Run" command, but this feature is absent from .ts
(or .tsx
) files.
I believe I have correctly configured my project for TypeScript, as I am able to at least run tsc
from the command line (with somewhat unexpected results), but am surprised that I can't simply do this from within the IDE.
Does WebStorm support single file TypeScript compilation and running? Does enabling this require some specific non-default configuration of the IDE?
Running Typescript files directly is not supported, as they can't be run with Node.js. You have to either pre-compile your code with tsc
and then invoke Run on the compiled js
file, or use on-the-fly compilation with ts-node:
npm install -D ts-node typescript
--require ts-node/register
as Node parameters:
