How to make it possible to use Typescript with SystemJS and Angular?

I'm trying to make SystemJS work with Typescript, but they seem to conflict with each other.

How can I take advantage of the autoloading from System.js without it conflicting with keywords on Typescript? using import / require makes Typescript using it's own way for loading and referencing files, although it translates export as module.exports = ..., it doesn't do the same for import

Is it possible at all to achieve this or I'll have to wait for Typescript to support ES6 keywords?

Solution

  • TypeScript 1.5 adds support for compiling to ES5 SystemJS module syntax.

    Author a class like:

    export class Foo {}

    Then compile with

    tsc --module system foo.ts

    The result will be an ES5 module using the SystemJS format.
