[build] - Transform plugins

[rkovalov]

Is there way somehow apply plugin for transform files ?
Target is renaming scss import to css after successfully compiling js.
I want to run concurrently for ex. building css by gulp with node-sass

Or better to play with @ts-tools/transpile before running build script ?

Sorry for a lot of question, hope u are doing best :)

Since @ts-tools/build only has a CLI interface (ts-build), and there's no standard way of pointing tooling to custom transformers, I didn't add support for applying transformations.

You could probably use the @ts-tools/transpile package to do stuff programmatically, passing in the "transformers" option to transpileCached. Much more manual, but then you have full control.

I find that in the more complex use cases, using typescript's API directly might be the better choice (unless you need the added caching layer).

"build" package has now been removed from repository. last published one still available from npm.
