# to do this, you have to first install node.js on your computer
# use the default selections while installing, it doesn't really matter
# once installation is complete, open "node.js command prompt"
# the type the following
npm install -g typescript
# or
npm install --global typescript
# use the following commands to monitor your JavaScript files for errors:
# before creation a ".json" you need to be sure your in the same directory as
# the JavaScript file you need to check for errors.
# go to the file explorer and copy the directory, then return to the
# "node.js command prompt" and type in
cd "this is where you paste the directory by right clicking" # the enter
tsc --init # creates a tsconfig.json file
# (it important to do this before using any of the next set of commands)
tsc # transpile every file in the current directory
tsc index.ts # transpile a specific file
tsc --watch # transpile on change in current directory (watch changes)
# this will scheck for errors every time you save the file while editing
# your welcome ;)
