Other editors

There are a number of editors that include support for TypeScript, such as Atom, Brackets, and even the age-old Vim editor. Each of these editors have varying levels of TypeScript support, including syntax highlighting and Intellisense. Using these editors represents a bare-bones TypeScript development environment, relying on the command line to automate build tasks. They do not have built-in debugging tools, and therefore do not qualify as an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) per se, but can easily be used to build TypeScript applications. The basic workflow using these editors would be as follows:

  1. Create and modify files using the editor
  2. Invoke the TypeScript compiler from the command line
  3. Run or debug applications using existing debuggers
