atom-ts-transpiler

A custom transpiler for Atom packages that enables running TypeScript code directly in the Atom editor. The current stable version is 1.5.3 (released 2020-11-08). This package is in maintenance mode, as the Atom editor itself is now archived. It provides a simple interface between Atom and the TypeScript compiler, supporting TypeScript versions 1.6 through 4.x. Key differentiators: respects tsconfig.json automatically, minimal performance overhead after initial caching, and small footprint (~20 KB). Compared to alternatives like manual pre-transpilation, it allows distributing Atom packages as TypeScript source.
