Configuration

Configure Node.js

When you install TypeScript, you can benefit with:

• a TypeScript server tsserver which consumes TypeScript Language API to provide services like completion, validation, hover, hyperlink for TypeScript files.
• a TypeScript compiler tsc to compile *.ts/*.tsx files to *.js/*.js.map files.

Those 2 command requires node.js. TypeScript IDE gives you the capability to use:

• the embedded node.js (by default) if you don't want to install node.js
• or choose your installed node.js.

To customize the Node.js version that you wish to use, you can do it with project TypeScript / Node.js preference page:
