proposals VS ttypescript

Then there are proposals for new features. Some proposals move through quickly, though some of these will never make it into the spec. They can be available months or years in advance through Babel plugins and other tools. Be aware that these allow you to write code that may never become valid JavaScript, but they can be useful for simplicity and readability, so long as you understand the requirements.

TC39 Proposals

As for what’s new, well here https://github.com/tc39/proposals/blob/main/finished-proposals.md you can research anything from that list that doesn’t look familiar to you.

The latest version of the ECMAScript standard is referred to as ES2022. However, there are almost always something new cooking, which you can use (ESNext) if yo have a javascript engine that implements it, or if you use a polyfill which implements some particular feature for earlier javascript engines.

[2] tc39 on Github. ECMAScript Finished Proposals.

You can follow the https://github.com/tc39/proposals repository if you want to keep tabs on what new features have been proposed, why they are being proposed, what makes them better than existing functionality, etc. Things are not (usually) added to the language for no reason.

Actually this can easily overcome by using https://github.com/cevek/ttypescript that allows using transformers in tsc and define then in tsconfig.json

You could write custom transformer for this (using ttypescript), if you really want to

That's it! after this, just register it with the method described on ttypescript.

As I noted above, this is a TypeScript transformer plugin so it needs to hook this plugin on TypeScript compilation phase. I suppose one of the easiest ways is using ttypescript which is a custom TypeScript compiler that can hook the transformer plugin on a compilation. Please refer also to the "How to use this transformer" section in README.

If you don't want to use a bundler, you can use https://github.com/cevek/ttypescript in combination with https://github.com/LeDDGroup/typescript-transform-paths

You can use the plugin https://github.com/awerlogus/io-ts-transformer with https://github.com/cevek/ttypescript to get compile time generation of io-ts codecs as well.

There is also a forked version of the compiler that allows custom transformers: https://github.com/cevek/ttypescript

Closest I can think of is ttypescript
