TS-NODE(1)

💖 TS-NODE(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the ts-node-script page from the User Commands corner of the ts-node manual. grab a boba, we're doing this 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ts-node-script — run JavaScript and TypeScript code, like, right now, no build step, no drama 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ts-node-script [options] [-e script] [arguments]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So the vibe is: this runs whatever script you hand it — either a file or code you inline with the -e switch — and it runs it through Node.js or TypeScript. that's it, that's the whole job, and it eats every time 🔥

lowkey important: it is equivalent to running ts-node with the --script-mode switch. same energy, different entrance. no cap.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -e, --eval [code] — evaluate code, right there on the spot, no file needed ✨
• -p, --print — print out the result of --eval (she said show me the receipts 💅)
• -r, --require [path] — require a node module before execution, so it's already loaded and ready 🫶
• -i, --interactive — opens the REPL even if stdin does not appear to be a terminal. yes, even then. she does not care 😌
• -h, --help — print CLI usage, aka the little map 🗺️
• -v, --version — print module version information 👑
• -s, --script-mode — use cwd from <script.ts> instead of current directory. the script's own home is the main character now 🏠
• -T, --transpile-only — use TypeScript's faster transpileModule. speed, but make it chaotic 💀
• -H, --compiler-host — use TypeScript's compiler host API 🧚
• -I, --ignore [pattern] — override the path patterns to skip compilation. tell her what to walk past 🙈
• -P, --project [path] — path to TypeScript JSON project file 📁
• -C, --compiler [name] — specify a custom TypeScript compiler, bring your own 🔥
• -D, --ignore-diagnostics [code] — ignore TypeScript warnings by diagnostic code. selective hearing, but for the compiler 🎧
• -O, --compiler-options [opts] — JSON object to merge with compiler options 🧩
• --dir — specify working directory for config resolution 📍
• --scope — scope compiler to files within cwd only. stay in your lane (affectionate) 🚧
• --files — load files, include and exclude from tsconfig.json on startup 📜
• --pretty — use pretty diagnostic formatter (usually enabled by default). she's already gorgeous but ok 💖
• --skip-project — skip reading tsconfig.json 🙅
• --skip-ignore — skip --ignore checks 🏃
• --prefer-ts-exts — prefer importing TypeScript files over JavaScript files. TypeScript girlies stay winning 🌈
• --log-error — logs TypeScript errors to stderr instead of throwing exceptions 📝

bestie note: every single one of those flags is listed exactly as it exists. don't freestyle the spelling, the compiler will absolutely notice and it will be embarrassing 😭

okay that's the whole page, love u, go run something iconic ✨

this was ts-node v9.0.0, from November 2020 — the manual page was TS-NODE(1), and yes she's still serving 💅👑🦋
