How to write TypeScript and CoffeeScript in Brackets? [closed]

Question

I want to write TypeScript and CoffeeScript in the Brackets code editor, but I am having difficulties. How do I compile it to vanilla js? How to refer it in the html page?

Shanklin

Seems clear to me. He's asking how to compile TypeScript or CoffeeScript files to vanilla js from within the Brackets code editor.Maybe he's installed the brackets-typescript extension and has noticed it doesn't provide a "compile" button, or an option in the menus or any other obvious way of compiling, The github page for brackets-typescript refers you to the "How To Use Brackets Guide" - which says nothing about TypeScript/CoffeeScript, and the only thing it says about compilation is that extensions or third-party file watchers can be used to automatically recompile SCSS/LESS files on save. – Lonnylonslesaunier

For TypeScript

intellisence / syntax highlighting / live error checking

You need the brackets-typescript plugin : https://github.com/fdecampredon/brackets-typescript

Compile to vanilla JS

You can use grunt to do that for you : https://github.com/grunt-ts/grunt-ts. It can compile your project whenever you save a file in brackets (or any other editor). The output is JavaScript

How to refer it in the html page

You point to the generated JS with a normal script tag as you do if you were just using JavaScript to begin with.

Alternatively you can use something like RequireJS http://requirejs.org/
