TS-NODE(1)

💖 ts-node — like, the manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, and let me tell you about ts-node from the User Commands section of the manual (that's section 1, iykyk). This is the whole page, every single flag, no skips, no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ts-node — execute JavaScript and TypeScript code. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So basically: it runs the given script, and that script is either chillin' in a file or inlined right there with the -e switch. It runs it using Node.js or TypeScript. your choice, your vibe. ✨

and now, the options. all of them. every last one. let's go 🎀

• -e, --eval [code] — evaluate code. like, just run the code you hand it, no file needed. 💫
• -p, --print — print the result of --eval. so you actually get to see the output instead of it vanishing into the void. 👑
• -r, --require [path] — require a node module before execution. pre-game ritual. do the thing first, then run. 🍓
• -i, --interactive — opens the REPL even if stdin does not appear to be a terminal. yes, even then. it's giving main character energy and refusing to be stopped. 😭
• -h, --help — print CLI usage. your girl when you're lost. 🧚
• -v, --version — print module version information. receipts! 📜
• -s, --script-mode — use cwd from <script.ts> instead of current directory. so the working directory comes from the script's own location, not wherever you happen to be standing. 🗺️
• -T, --transpile-only — use TypeScript's faster transpileModule. speed. velocity. zoom. 🔥
• -H, --compiler-host — use TypeScript's compiler host API. fancy. ✨
• -I, --ignore [pattern] — override the path patterns to skip compilation. tell it what NOT to touch. 🙈
• -P, --project [path] — path to TypeScript JSON project file. point it at your tsconfig. 📁
• -C, --compiler [name] — specify a custom TypeScript compiler. bring your own. 💜
• -D, --ignore-diagnostics [code] — ignore TypeScript warnings by diagnostic code. silencing the haters, but by number. 💀
• -O, --compiler-options [opts] — JSON object to merge with compiler options. smash those settings together. 🧩
• --dir — specify working directory for config resolution. where the config hunt begins. 🏠
• --scope — scope compiler to files within cwd only. stay in your lane (affectionate). 🌈
• --files — load files, include and exclude from tsconfig.json on startup. all three, right at the jump. ⭐
• --pretty — use pretty diagnostic formatter (usually enabled by default). the glow-up for your error messages. 💖
• --skip-project — skip reading tsconfig.json. ignoring it entirely. respectfully. 🙅
• --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. so instead of a dramatic throw, it just quietly logs it to stderr. no chaos, just notes. 📝

ngl bestie, that's the entire page. nothing skipped, nothing merged, nothing invented. every flag is here fr fr. 💅

okay and for the cute sign-off: this is ts-node v9.0.0, dated November 2020, from the User Commands manual page for TS-NODE(1). mwah. go compile something gorgeous. 🎀✨🦋
