TypeScript via tsc command: Output to single file without concatenation
Is there a way of compiling single .ts file to different directory?
The only way from the manual command of compilation to different directory is via --out command, but it also does concatenation of dependent files, which I don't want:
--out FILE|DIRECTORY Concatenate and emit output to single file | Redirect output structure to the directory
Is there a way of redirecting the output WITHOUT concatenation of input files?
Answer
Unfortunately it's impossible to compile multiple *.ts files into one *.js without concatenation. Because it's impossible on API level of typescript compile options.
See --out option:
DEPRECATED. Use --outFile instead.
Documentation of --outFile option:
Concatenate and emit output to single file. The order of concatenation is determined by the list of files passed to the compiler on the command line along with triple-slash references and imports. See output file order documentation for more details.
