This will install the TypeScript compiler into your project directory, as illustrated in Figure 19-2 .
Figure 19-2. Here, you can see that npm was used to install the Typescript compiler, and it has been downloaded
and installed correctly
Next, you will want to run through the following commands, one at a time, and let each of them install before
moving on to the next plug-in:
npm install grunt-typescript --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-watch --save-dev
npm install grunt-contrib-connect --save-dev
npm install grunt-open --save-dev
Now, if you take a look at the package.json file in your project, you should see all your modules installed under
the developerDependencies JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object, as follows:
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "~0.9.1-1",
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-typescript": "~0.2.4",
"grunt-contrib-watch": "~0.5.3",
"grunt-contrib-connect": "~0.5.0",
"grunt-open": "~0.2.2"
}
Note that you may have different version numbers, as npm installs the latest one.
Next, you need to create a GruntFile.js in your project. Open it, and let's import your modules:
module.exports = function (grunt) {
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-typescript');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-watch');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-connect');
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-open');
}
