Setup a Typescript project with classes shared between client and server apps?

I currently have a solution with two projects. ServerApp (nodejs NTVS) and BrowserApp (Html Typescript application).

I wish to share classes between both projects and get immediate intellisense.

How to do that ?

PS: for those how know GWT, what I want is similar to the shared project.

Solution

  • I managed to do it this way :

    • create a third project named SharedClasses (I used HTML Typescript template)
    • add my shared classes in it
    • add a shared_reference.ts file with references to those classes files
    • add a link to the reference.ts file in ServerApp and BrowserApp projects that point to shared_reference.ts

    /// <reference path="../SharedClasses/shared_reference.ts" />

    Autocompletion works, F12 too...
