How to use with @babel/preset-typescript

[hpohlmeyer]

I am not sure if this is the same issue as #36, but it would be really nice to have a way to use this with @babel/preset-typescript. Since there is no transformer option, is there a more low-level way we could do this?

Hey @hpohlmeyer, I don't think it's possible yet because I don't believe that has a way to inject custom transformers at the moment :(

Thanks, I guess I will open an issue with the babel preset.
The Typescript Team does not seem to have any plans to include it in the compiler. :/

I just looked into this a bit more and it looks like @babel/preset-typescript is not using the typescript compiler: https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/packages/babel-plugin-transform-typescript/src/index.js (which makes sense, now that I think about it...)

Since it's not using the typescript AST, it wouldn't be possible for ts-nameof to work with it. I did find this babel plugin though, but I'm not sure if will help in this case (I'm not too familiar with babel): https://github.com/enoshixi/babel-plugin-nameof

@hpohlmeyer this is now supported. Please see either of the following projects:
