tsconfig.json single file compilation

Suggestion

tsc --project tsconfig.json somefile.ts

Use Cases

Inter-operability with third party libraries that use tsconfig.json.
This way, you can manually compile using same configuration file.

Examples

tsc --project tsconfig.json --outFile bundle.js sourcefile.ts
manually compile a bundle

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

  • This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
  • This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
  • This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
  • This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
  • This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

I don't understand the use case. You can already use configuration file inheritance to share a common tsconfig file for settings purposes. Does this mean that the file list would replace the files listed in the tsconfig, or augment it? Maybe this is a duplicate of #27379

I don't use a file list in tsconfig.json.
Instead of creating a new tsconfig file just for manual usage, I would like for the compiler to get the settings from tsconfig.json and use them when compiling input files.

Gotcha, thanks. That'd be the same as #27379 then
