Getting Started

This repo uses yarn workspaces with node 13+, and watchman. (Windows users can install watchman via chocolatey)

With those set up, clone this repo and run yarn install.

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-website
cd TypeScript-website
yarn install
code .

# Then:
yarn bootstrap
# Optional, grab the translations:
yarn docs-sync pull microsoft/TypeScript-Website-localizations#main 1

# Now you can start up the website
yarn start

Working on this repo is done by running yarn start - this starts up the website on port 8000 and creates a builder worker for every package in the repo, so if you make a change outside of the site it will compile and lint etc.

Some useful knowledge you need to know:

All packages have: yarn build and yarn test
All packages use debug - which means you can do env DEBUG="*" yarn test to get verbose logs

You can manually via GH Actions for production here and staging here.

Having issues getting set up? Consult the troubleshooting.

Deployment

Deployment is automatic:

Pushes to the branch v2 deploy to staging
On a Monday the v2 branch is deployed to production

You can find the build logs in GitHub Actions

Docs

If you want to know in-depth how this website works, there is an hour long video covering the codebase, deployment and tooling on YouTube.. Otherwise there are some short guides:

Website Packages

TypeScriptLang-Org

The main website for TypeScript, a Gatsby website which is statically deployed. You can run it via:

yarn start

To save your time, twoslash is not applied to code-samples in yarn start - to launch the server with twoslash support use: yarn start-twoslash. To optimize even more, the env var NO_TRANSLATIONS as truthy will make the website only load pages for English.

Sandbox

The editor aspect of the TypeScript Playground REPL, useable for all sites which want to show a monaco editor with TypeScript or JavaScript code.

Playground

The JS code has an AMD module for the playground which is loaded at runtime in the Playground website.

Doc Packages

TSConfig Reference

A set of tools and scripts for generating a comprehensive API reference for the TSConfig JSON file.

# Generate JSON from the typescript cli
yarn workspace tsconfig-reference run generate-json
# Jams them all into a single file
yarn workspace tsconfig-reference run generate-markdown

Validate the docs:

yarn workspace tsconfig-reference run test

# or to just run the linter without a build
yarn workspace tsconfig-reference run lint

# or to just one one linter for a single doc
yarn workspace tsconfig-reference run lint resolveJson

Documentation

The docs for TypeScript. Originally ported over from microsoft/TypeScript-Handbook then intermingled with microsoft/TypeScript-New-Handbook, and finally updated for Twoslash and with new content.
