grunt-type

Compile TypeScipt source code.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0 and TypeScript 0.9.0.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-type --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-copy');

*This plugin was designed to work with Grunt 0.4.x and TypeScript 0.9.x (currently in alpha). If you're still using grunt v0.3.x it's strongly recommended that you upgrade.
