TypeScript Configurationlink

TypeScript 配置link

TypeScript is a primary language for Angular application development. It is a superset of JavaScript with design-time support for type safety and tooling.

TypeScript 是 Angular 应用开发中使用的主语言。 它是 JavaScript 的“方言”之一，为类型安全和工具化而做了设计期支持。

Browsers can't execute TypeScript directly. Typescript must be "transpiled" into JavaScript using the tsc compiler, which requires some configuration.

浏览器不能直接执行 TypeScript。它得先用 tsc 编译器转译(transpile)成 JavaScript，而且编译器需要进行一些配置。

This page covers some aspects of TypeScript configuration and the TypeScript environment that are important to Angular developers, including details about the following files:

本页面会涵盖 TypeScript 配置与环境的某些方面，这些对 Angular 开发者是很重要的。具体来说包括下列文件：

• tsconfig.json—TypeScript compiler configuration.

  tsconfig.json - TypeScript 编译器配置。

• typings—TypesScript declaration files.

  typings - TypesScript 类型声明文件。

tsconfig.jsonlink

tsconfig.json 文件link

Typically, you add a TypeScript configuration file called tsconfig.json to your project to guide the compiler as it generates JavaScript files.

你通常会往项目中加入一个 TypeScript 配置文件(tsconfig.json)，来指导编译器如何生成 JavaScript 文件。

The Setup guide uses the following tsconfig.json:

在搭建本地开发环境中创建过如下的 tsconfig.json：

This file contains options and flags that are essential for Angular applications.

该文件中的选项和标志是写 Angular 应用程序的基础。

noImplicitAny and suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrorslink

noImplicitAny 与 suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrorslink

TypeScript developers disagree about whether the noImplicitAny flag should be true or false. There is no correct answer and you can change the flag later. But your choice now can make a difference in larger projects, so it merits discussion.

TypeScript 开发者们在 noImplicitAny 标志应该是 true 还是 false 上存在分歧。 这没有标准答案，你以后还可以修改这个标志。 但是你的选择会在大项目中产生显著差异，所以它值得讨论一番。

When the noImplicitAny flag is false (the default), and if the compiler cannot infer the variable type based on how it's used, the compiler silently defaults the type to any. That's what is meant by implicit any.

当 noImplicitAny 标志是 false(默认值)时， 如果编译器无法根据变量的用途推断出变量的类型，它就会悄悄的把变量类型默认为 any。这就是隐式 any的含义。

The documentation setup sets the noImplicitAny flag to true. When the noImplicitAny flag is true and the TypeScript compiler cannot infer the type, it still generates the JavaScript files, but it also reports an error. Many seasoned developers prefer this stricter setting because type checking catches more unintentional errors at compile time.

本文档在环境搭建时将 noImplicitAny 标志设置为 true。 当 noImplicitAny 标志是 true 并且 TypeScript 编译器无法推断出类型时，它仍然会生成 JavaScript 文件。 但是它也会报告一个错误。 很多饱经沧桑的程序员更喜欢这种严格的设置，因为类型检查能在编译期间捕获更多意外错误。

You can set a variable's type to any even when the noImplicitAny flag is true.

即使 noImplicitAny 标志被设置成了 true，你也可以把变量的类型设置为 any。

When the noImplicitAny flag is true, you may get implicit index errors as well. Most developers feel that this particular error is more annoying than helpful. You can suppress them with the following additional flag:

如果把 noImplicitAny 标志设置为了 true，你可能会得到隐式索引错。 大多数程序员可能觉得这种错误是个烦恼而不是助力。 你可以使用另一个标志来禁止它们。

The documentation setup sets this flag to true as well.

本文档在环境搭建时将 noImplicitAny 标志设置为 true。

TypeScript Typingslink

TypeScript 类型定义(typings)link

Many JavaScript libraries, such as jQuery, the Jasmine testing library, and Angular, extend the JavaScript environment with features and syntax that the TypeScript compiler doesn't recognize natively. When the compiler doesn't recognize something, it throws an error.

很多 JavaScript 库，比如 jQuery、Jasmine 测试库和 Angular，会通过新的特性和语法来扩展 JavaScript 环境。 而 TypeScript 编译器并不能原生的识别它们。 当编译器不能识别时，它就会抛出一个错误。

Use TypeScript type definition files—d.ts files—to tell the compiler about the libraries you load.

可以使用TypeScript 类型定义文件 —— .d.ts 文件 —— 来告诉编译器你要加载的库的类型定义。

TypeScript-aware editors leverage these same definition files to display type information about library features.

TypeScript 敏感的编辑器借助这些定义文件来显示这些库中各个特性的类型定义。

Many libraries include definition files in their npm packages where both the TypeScript compiler and editors can find them. Angular is one such library. The node_modules/@angular/core/ folder of any Angular application contains several d.ts files that describe parts of Angular.

很多库在自己的 npm 包中都包含了它们的类型定义文件，TypeScript 编译器和编辑器都能找到它们。Angular 库也是这样的。 任何 Angular 应用程序的 node_modules/@angular/core/ 目录下，都包含几个 d.ts 文件，它们描述了 Angular 的各个部分。

You need do nothing to get typings files for library packages that include d.ts files. Angular packages include them already.

你不需要为那些包含了 d.ts 文件的库获取类型定义文件 —— Angular 的所有包都是如此。

lib.d.tslink

lib.d.ts 文件link

TypeScript includes a special declaration file called lib.d.ts. This file contains the ambient declarations for various common JavaScript constructs present in JavaScript runtimes and the DOM.

TypeScript 带有一个特殊的声明文件，名为 lib.d.ts。该文件包含了 JavaScript 运行库和 DOM 的各种常用 JavaScript 环境声明。

Based on the --target, TypeScript adds additional ambient declarations like Promise if the target is es6.

基于 --target，TypeScript 添加额外的环境声明，例如如果目标为 es6 时将添加 Promise。

Since the QuickStart is targeting es5, you can override the list of declaration files to be included:

因为《快速上手》的目标为 es5，所以你可以重写声明文件列表来包含：

Thanks to that, you have all the es6 typings even when targeting es5.

得益于这项设置，即使编译目标设置为 es5，你也能获得所有的 es6 类型信息。

Installable typings fileslink

安装类型定义文件link

Many libraries—jQuery, Jasmine, and Lodash among them—do not include d.ts files in their npm packages. Fortunately, either their authors or community contributors have created separate d.ts files for these libraries and published them in well-known locations.

遗憾的是，很多库 —— jQuery、Jasmine 和 Lodash 等库 —— 都没有在它们自己的 npm 包中包含 d.ts 文件。 幸运的是，它们的作者或社区中的贡献者已经为这些库创建了独立的 d.ts 文件，并且把它们发布到了一个众所周知的位置。

You can install these typings via npm using the @types/* scoped package and Typescript, starting at 2.0, automatically recognizes them.

你还可以通过 npm 来使用@types/* 范围化包来安装这些类型信息， 而 TypeScript 自从 2.0 开始，可以自动识别它们。

For instance, to install typings for jasmine you could do npm install @types/jasmine --save-dev.

比如，要安装 jasmine 的类型信息，你可以执行 npm install @types/jasmine --save-dev。

QuickStart identifies two typings, or d.ts, files:

在“快速上手”中曾指定过两个类型定义文件（d.ts）：

• jasmine typings for the Jasmine test framework.

  jasmine是 Jasmine 测试框架的类型定义

• node for code that references objects in the Node.js® environment;

node是为了在 Node.js® 环境中引用对象的代码提供的类型定义。

QuickStart doesn't require these typings but many of the samples do.

“快速上手”本身不需要这些类型定义，但是文档中的很多例子都需要。

targetlink

编译目标（target）link

By default, the target is es5, you can configure the target to es6 if you only want to deploy the application to es6 compatible browser. But if you configure the target to es6 in some old browser such as IE, Syntax Error will be thrown.

默认情况下，编译目标是 es5，如果你只想发布到兼容 es6 的浏览器中，也可以把它配置为 es6。 不过，如果配置为 es6，那么一些老的浏览器（如 IE ）中就会抛出 Syntax Error 错误。
