Another question: our TypeScript compile-times are approaching 5/6 seconds whenever gulp watch triggers. Imo this is too long for a workable frontend workflow. Did you guys find a way to incrementally compile TS with gulp?
That said, we have many small files, so I'm pretty certain that for us, setting up gulp to always only recompile whichever file changed (which we currently don't do) should be good enough. Afaik there's ways to do this with gulp but I did not investigate yet.
Do you guys manage to only recompile changed files?
Thanks for the WebStorm hint! Did not know that!
The tsc executable does have a -watch flag itself for incremental compilation, which presumably takes into account these dependencies. So may be the solution is to use that outside of gulp (since gulp-tsc doesn't seem to be able to launch the compiler in watch mode).
