TypeScriptkääntämisnasista, often shortened to "tsc", is the official command-line interface compiler for the TypeScript programming language. It is responsible for transforming TypeScript code, which includes static typing and modern JavaScript features, into standard JavaScript code that can be understood and executed by web browsers and Node.js environments. The compiler plays a crucial role in the development workflow of any project using TypeScript.

When you run tsc, it reads your TypeScript files (.ts or .tsx) and, based on the configuration specified in your tsconfig.json file, performs several operations. These include type checking to catch potential errors before runtime, transpilation to convert the TypeScript syntax into compatible JavaScript, and potentially generating declaration files (.d.ts) that describe the types of your code for other TypeScript projects to consume. The output JavaScript can be configured to target different ECMAScript versions, such as ES5, ES6, or later, ensuring compatibility with various JavaScript runtimes.

The tsc command can be used with various options to control its behavior, such as specifying input files, output directories, and compilation targets. It is often integrated into build tools and bundlers like Webpack, Rollup, or Parcel to automate the compilation process as part of a larger build pipeline. Understanding how to effectively use tsc and its configuration is fundamental for any developer working with TypeScript.
