Is it possible to compile TypeScript into minified code?

Question

Is there an option to compile TypeScript code's output as minified? Or are we left to deal with that in a separate process? And does obfuscation affect the answer?

Answer 1

The TypeScript compiler does not support the generation of minifies or obfuscated code. you will need to use another tool against the JavaScript output of the compiler.

Answer 2

I am the author of typescript-closure-compiler.
Basically it is a tool that emits files that are compatible with google closure compiler, which is probably the best minifier/optimizer/obfuscator out there.
I've also created a playground that can show you the generated output.
You can take a look at an example project which uses this tool.
The minification process is done using gulp.
