@giphy/js-components Compiling to Javascript

I have a website that I have only used JavaScript with, but I tried using TypeScript as per the example on CodeSandbox. The problem I am having is that the browsers are not compiling the code correctly. Some of the errors I have encountered are: “chat.ts” was blocked because of a disallowed MIME type (“video/mp2t”)” //chat.ts is basically the same code as index.ts in the CodeSandbox example After installing TypeScript through npm and creating the js files I get this error: “ReferenceError: exports is not defined” in chat.js (source of error: Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });) This code was generated by running tsconfig.json in Visual Studio Code

I know how to program with TypeScript, but the problem is that I don’t know how to compile in the browser. I’ve tried researching this but had no luck. What am I missing?

@maltoze it’s possible, just most people use a bundler and it hasn’t been on our roadmap. I’d have to add a umd file to our package.json and then it looks like you’d be able to use https://unpkg.com/ to grab the code in a script tag

Ah I may have mislead you about tsc, we use that for our repo, but that is for our libraries, not for a bundle you’d use in a web page.

Take a look at https://parceljs.org/

It should be easy to get the bundled file you need for use with a script tag.

Why doesn’t provide a version that can be used directly in <script>?
