I am using the 5 min quickstart from angular.io website, which contain a file structure like this:



angular2-quickstart
app
app.component.ts
boot.ts
index.html
license.md
package.json
tsconfig.json


the tsconfig.json is a code block like this :



{
compilerOptions: {
target: ES5,
module: system,
moduleResolution: node,
sourceMap: true,
emitDecoratorMetadata: true,
experimentalDecorators: true,
removeComments: false,
noImplicitAny: false
},
exclude: [
node_modules
]
}


Also the package.json:



{
name: angular2-quickstart,
version: 1.0.0,
scripts: {
tsc: tsc,
tsc:w: tsc -w,
lite: lite-server,
start: concurrent npm run tsc:w npm run lite
},
license: ISC,
dependencies: {
angular2: 2.0.0-beta.0,
systemjs: 0.19.6,
es6-promise: ^3.0.2,
es6-shim: ^0.33.3,
reflect-metadata: 0.1.2,
rxjs: 5.0.0-beta.0,
zone.js: 0.5.10
},
devDependencies: {
concurrently: ^1.0.0,
lite-server: ^1.3.1,
typescript: ^1.7.3
}
}


I change the sourceMap from true to false, so in the code editor, the map file is not generated again, but the js file still get generated.



I want to work on only ts file and don't want to get a brunch of js and js.map file, what should I do to put all my ts files in my regular develop floder like app folder and all the js and js.map files into a folder called dist?



A good example of this might be angular2-webpack-quickstart. But I didn't figure out how they do that?



Any advice how to do that, of course not manually.



Thanks,

Probably late but here is a two-step solution.



Step 1



Change system.config.js by updating 'app' to 'dist/app':



var  map = {
'app': 'app', // 'dist/app',
.
.
.
};


Now it will look like this:



var  map = {
'app': 'dist/app', // 'dist/app',
.
.
.
};


Step 2



Create the dist folder.


Edit tsconfig.json and add:



outDir: dist


The resulting tsconfig.json:



{
compilerOptions: {
.
.
.
.

outDir: dist // Pay attention here
},
exclude: [
.
.
.
]
}


Run npm start and you should see all the compiled .js and .map.js files in the dist folder.



Note: Go through other answers. They are quite useful and informative too.
