Support Node native TypeScript (--experimental-strip-types and --experimental-transform-types)

Feature Request

I want to use these new flags to get rid of configs, nodemon, ts-node etc. but can't because typia. I really like typia and don't want to lose it. Is there any plans for Node native TS?

Cheers.

because typia using tsc to extract type information, you need to run scripts by running tsc + typia

So we need tsc no matter what. I guess I should wait generation to suffixed files feature, at least.

Or generate mode with proper caching. Thanks for the info.

@ryoppippi I just checked unplugin-typia and saw it can work with Bun. It looks like it injects with a preload script and it reminded me how ts-node can run with Node —require parameter: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node#node-flags-and-other-tools

I’m wondering, can unplugin-typia work same way and use —loader, —require or —import flag to extract types in Node?

@ismailkarsli unplugin-typia uses tsc inside

@ryoppippi Since ts-node can transform TS files to JS files with node -r ts-node/register, I thought that typia can extract TS types with tsc and then let other compilers do their jobs.

I don’t know how tsc, typia or unplugin-typia works so please excuse me if I asked meaningless questions.
