Support for tsc --p option? (path to project)

[spacejack]

I'd like to be able to supply the path to the tsconfig.json file, but tsify doesn't seem to pass this through to tsc.

Eg:

browserify src/main.ts -p [ tsify --p src ] -o public/js/app.js

So it won't pick up any of the options in tsconfig.json, meaning I have to re-add them to the command line. This gets especially bad when you have a lot of typings files as you can't include them with a wildcard. Eg:

browserify src/main.ts src/typings/lib1/lib1.d.ts src/typings/lib2/lib2.d.ts src/typings/lib3/lib3.d.ts -p [ tsify --noImplicitAny --noImplicitReturns --suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors ] -o public/js/app.js

Is there a way to set the path to tsconfig.json?

Try something like this:

browserify src/main.ts -p [ tsify --project some/path/tsconfig.json ] -o public/js/app.js

Oh that's great! That seems to be working, thank you!

@basarat Actually, it seems that I've missed the author's intentions re: tsc options:

You can point to a different tsconfig.json with the --project another-tsconfig.json option. (This is not called out explicitly in the README because it's a feature of tsc.)

I'll submit another PR later to tidy up the README.md, as --project is not an 'extra option'; its a tsc option that's supported by tsify. Also, I think I'll add support for the tsc option short names - like -p. If tsify is going to behave like tsc option-wise, I think it should support the short names. If it had, this issue would not have arisen.

@basarat Unfortunately, my change to expand the short-name, command-line options resulted in the target defaulting to ES3, so I'm going to have to make another release - with some code that's somewhat more robust.

It's a little embarrassing, that the first release for which I've been responsible is broken. Clearly, I'll have to have a closer look at the testing environment the author has set up, so that I can add some tests that cover additions like the one I've just made.
