The support that they have for Typescript is that they provide definition files. At runtime you still have to run Javascript. Compile the Typescript to Javascript and then use the resulting .js file as your entry point.

Install ts-node and typescript package to your project and then add parameter -r ts-node/register when running electron

npm install ts-node
npm install typescript

electron -r ts-node/register .

and add require('ts-node/register') in your html file

<script>
require('ts-node/register')
</script>
