​
TypeScript SDK

RBS supports TypeScript through the Node.js SDK with automatic tsc compilation. All .ts files are compiled to .js transparently using configurable compiler options.

​
Setup

Use the same Node.js toolchain setup. TypeScript support is built into the nodejs_binary and nodejs_library rules. 
load("@rbs//nodejs/toolchain.rbs", "nodejs_toolchain")
load("@rbs//nodejs/dependencies.rbs", "nodejs_repository")

nodejs_toolchain(name = "nodejs", version = "20.11.0")

# TypeScript compiler (auto-managed)
nodejs_repository(name = "typescript_repo", package = "typescript", version = "5.3.3")

# Type definitions
nodejs_repository(name = "types_node_repo", package = "@types/node", version = "20.11.5")
nodejs_repository(name = "types_express_repo", package = "@types/express", version = "4.17.21")

# Application dependencies
nodejs_repository(name = "express_repo", package = "express", version = "4.18.2")

​
TypeScript Compilation

Add ts_compiler_options to any nodejs_binary or nodejs_library to enable TypeScript compilation: 
nodejs_library(
    name = "utils",
    srcs = ["src/utils/math.ts", "src/utils/string.ts"],
    deps = [":lodash_repo", ":types_lodash_repo"],
    ts_compiler_options = {
        "target": "ES2020",
        "strict": True,
        "declaration": True,
    },
)

​
Common Compiler Options

OptionTypeDescription
targetstringECMAScript target ("ES2020", "ES2022", etc.).
modulestringModule system ("commonjs", "esnext", etc.).
strictboolEnable strict type checking.
declarationboolGenerate .d.ts declaration files.
esModuleInteropboolEnable interop between CommonJS and ES modules.
skipLibCheckboolSkip type checking of declaration files.

​
Rules

All Node.js rules support TypeScript when ts_compiler_options is provided.

​
nodejs_library (TypeScript)

load("@rbs//nodejs/rules.rbs", "nodejs_library")

nodejs_library(
    name = "models",
    srcs = ["src/models/user.ts", "src/models/product.ts"],
    ts_compiler_options = {"target": "ES2020", "strict": True},
)

nodejs_library(
    name = "routes",
    srcs = ["src/routes/api.ts"],
    deps = [":models", ":utils", ":express_repo", ":types_express_repo"],
    ts_compiler_options = {"target": "ES2020", "strict": True},
)

​
nodejs_binary (TypeScript)

load("@rbs//nodejs/rules.rbs", "nodejs_binary")

nodejs_binary(
    name = "server",
    srcs = ["src/server.ts"],
    main = "src/server.ts",
    deps = [
        ":routes", ":utils", ":models",
        ":express_repo", ":types_express_repo", ":types_node_repo",
        ":typescript_repo",
    ],
    env = {"NODE_ENV": "development", "PORT": "4000"},
    ts_compiler_options = {
        "target": "ES2020",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "strict": True,
        "esModuleInterop": True,
    },
)

​
Linting

Lint TypeScript files with Prettier: 
load("@rbs//nodejs/lint.rbs", "nodejs_lint")

nodejs_lint(
    name = "lint",
    srcs = glob(["src/**/*.ts"], exclude = ["node_modules/**", "dist/**"]),
    linters = ["prettier"],
)

​
Example: TypeScript Express Server with Containers

load("@rbs//nodejs/rules.rbs", "nodejs_binary", "nodejs_library")
load("@rbs//oci/rules.rbs", "oci_image")
load("@rbs//nodejs/lint.rbs", "nodejs_lint")

nodejs_library(
    name = "utils",
    srcs = ["src/utils/math.ts", "src/utils/string.ts"],
    deps = [":lodash_repo", ":types_lodash_repo"],
    ts_compiler_options = {"target": "ES2020", "strict": True, "declaration": True},
)

nodejs_binary(
    name = "server",
    srcs = ["src/server.ts"],
    main = "src/server.ts",
    deps = [":utils", ":express_repo", ":types_express_repo", ":types_node_repo", ":typescript_repo"],
    env = {"NODE_ENV": "development", "PORT": "4000"},
    ts_compiler_options = {"target": "ES2020", "module": "commonjs", "strict": True, "esModuleInterop": True},
)

oci_image(
    name = "server_image",
    binary = ":server",
    base = "ubuntu:22.04",
    env = {"NODE_ENV": "production", "PORT": "8080"},
    ports = ["8080/tcp"],
    tag = "ts-server:latest",
)

nodejs_lint(
    name = "lint",
    srcs = glob(["src/**/*.ts"]),
    linters = ["prettier"],
)
