gulpfile.ts initial compilation time

[chasset]

Hello,

I prefer writing my tasks in typescript. So I use a folder named "gulpfile.ts" to organize all my scripts dedicated to gulp. After installing ts-node, "gulp" on the command line compiles all the scripts and launch the tasks perfectly.

But the process to compile each time is slow. Now, I would like to speed the initial compilation using the incremental option of the compiler.

But it seems that it doesn’t care of the "tsconfig.json" file, using may be its own parameters.

Any idea to make it compile faster?

Best regards,

Pierre-Olivier

I'm not too sure what ts-node would be doing behind the scenes, but I was pretty sure it uses the tsconfig file (I'm think we test that in our interpret module). However, yesterday, we added support for a new library called Sucrase that is supposed to allow for very fast builds.

You can try it out by removing ts-node from your project and installing sucrase.

It works. Many thanks !

Sucrase reduces compilation time, but I have still 9 secondes to wait.
Is there a way to use an incremental compilation for typescript in combination with sucrase?
