TypeScript Web-Based IDE

up vote 8 down vote favorite 1

Given the fact that TypeScript is Open Source, is this Web-Based IDE also available as a tool that can be downloaded anywhere? I'm developing a web application in which the client can write a user-defined expression (with user-defined variables and predefined methods) which is evaluated, compiled and used at runtime on the server using C# .Net. Using TypeScript and its wonderful web-based editor's features like syntax or error highlighting, code completion, method signature suggestion, etc, saves me lots of trouble in the user interface. So is this editor also part of TypeScript? If not, is there any other open source solutions with similar capabilities? javascript ide typescript share|improve this question asked Jan 11 '13 at 17:42 Kamyar Nazeri 4,20131649

up vote 4 down vote accepted	There is a discussion on the TypeScript Codeplex site that suggests a similar editor that is available under an MIT license that may help: TypeScript Playground On Ace As far as I am aware the Playground editor source isn't public (yet). http://typescript./discussions/401549 share|improve this answer edited Jan 29 '13 at 17:08 answered Jan 11 '13 at 18:37 Steve Fenton 47.3k1454115

up vote 5 down vote	There are some web IDEs with support of TypeScript, namely: Cloud9 CATS JSBin (choose TypeScript from dropdown) TouchDevelop If you think about making a new one, you could base on one of my 2 projects: TypeScript Compile or TypeScript Interpret ;) share|improve this answer answered Jan 22 '13 at 21:58 niutech 3,85411623

I don't think so. According to this article, VisualStudio is your best bet. It mentions Visual Studio Express, so event though it's not open source, you would not incur any costs. share|improve this answer answered Jan 11 '13 at 17:50 vector 3,08311544

Yes, unfortunately, seems that its not available, let's hope they make it available when the project finishes! –  Kamyar Nazeri Jan 11 '13 at 18:21 What's not available, VSExpress? Hm..., what system are you working on? –  vector Jan 11 '13 at 18:32 1   whats with VSExpress? I'm looking for a web-based editor –  Kamyar Nazeri Jan 11 '13 at 18:40 Yeah... despite installation issues, VS works ok... but since I am not running code on IIS servers, most of that package fails for me... no decent PHP support, and its a pain to get decent code highlighting/Intellisense working for Compass... besides, the OP requested web or cloud based services. The closest VS has is WebMatrix, which fails for most of the same reasons as VS. –  Steve Aug 24 '13 at 7:44 add comment

VM Domain and Apache is included, so previewing your work in your browser is also easy :) share|improve this answer answered Dec 27 '13 at 16:21 Lee Olayvar 736822
