node-tsc

node-tsc wraps the TypeScript command-line compiler (tsc) as a Node.js module, enabling programmatic compilation of TypeScript files. Version 0.0.14 is the latest stable release, last updated in 2015. It provides a simple API to compile TypeScript code without invoking the CLI. Notable issues: the package is unmaintained, very outdated, and does not support modern TypeScript features (ES modules, strict mode). Dependencies are minimal: only Node.js and a TypeScript compiler from npm (installed separately). Key differentiator: simple wrapper for tsc, but now obsolete; use ts-node, @ts-morph/bootstrap, or the official TypeScript API instead.
