Currently, I am diving into AngularJS2 through a book from 2015 called ng-book2. However, the node package it relies on, tsc, for transpiling TypeScript to JavaScript on the go has been discontinued and deprecated:
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: TSD is no longer supported, suggesting to use Typings instead (https://github.com/typings/typings) - visit https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/tsd/issues/269 for further details
. While I have come across other methods in various tutorials, I am curious if there is a general agreement on the most effective way to transpile on a development machine?
Here's the package.json that I'm utilizing:
