How can i include another file in Typescript?

Question

I have many typescript file a.ts, and another typescript file b.ts. how can i inlcude a.ts into b.ts? so when compile b.ts to javascript b.js, the content from a.ts is attached to b.js automatically. I know, in LESS we can use import "a.less' inside b.less, so when compiled to b.css, the content of a.css is automatically included in b.css. Does typescript have similar syntax?

TypeScript uses modules and ES6 style import statements - consult the official documentation: typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html — UnholySheep

You can also use triple-slashes depending on what you're doing. But it's not a recommended technique. JavaScript (and TypeScript) rely on modules instead like UnholySheep mentioned. — zeh

You can use outFile and if a.ts and b.ts are in your compilation context.

But instead I highly recommend you use modules : https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript/content/docs/project/modules.html

And then compile using webpack : https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript/content/docs/quick/browser.html
