gulp-tsc

A gulp plugin that wraps the TypeScript compiler (tsc) to transpile .ts files within gulp workflows. Current stable version is 1.3.2. It supports TypeScript versions from 0.9.1 to 2.1.0, providing a configurable interface for compilation options like module, target, declarations, and source maps. It locates the tsc binary from the local typescript package, shell PATH, or bundled fallback. Compared to alternatives like gulp-typescript, gulp-tsc uses the CLI tsc rather than the compiler API, making it simpler but less flexible for advanced use cases (e.g., no incremental compilation, no project references). The package is lightweight and direct but has limited maintenance and no support for newer TypeScript features.
