A preview build is available on npm as @typescript/native-preview.
npm install @typescript/native-preview
npx tsgo # Use this as you would tsc.
For TypeScript 7.0 RC and later, the command name is tsc.
A preview VS Code extension is available on the VS Code marketplace.
To use this, set this in your VS Code settings:
{
"js/ts.experimental.useTsgo": true
}
This is still a work in progress and is not yet at full feature parity with TypeScript. Bugs may exist. Please check this list carefully before logging a new issue or assuming an intentional change.
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Program creation | done | Same files and module resolution as TS 6.0. Not all resolution modes supported yet. |
| Parsing/scanning | done | Exact same syntax errors as TS 6.0 |
Commandline and tsconfig.json parsing |
done | Done, though tsconfig errors may not be as helpful. |
| Type resolution | done | Same types as TS 6.0. |
| Type checking | done | Same errors, locations, and messages as TS 6.0. Types printback in errors may display differently. |
| JavaScript-specific inference and JSDoc | done | Complete, but intentionally lacking some features. Declaration emit differs greatly, intentionally, to be closer to TS declarations. |
| JSX | done | - |
| Declaration emit | done | - |
| Emit (JS output) | done | - |
| Watch mode | prototype | Watches files and rebuilds, but no incremental rechecking. Not optimized. |
| Build mode / project references | done | - |
| Incremental build | done | - |
| Language service (LSP) | in progress | Nearly all features implemented. |
| API | not ready | - |
