Use Typescript 4.0 build features

[niemyjski]

I updated my local project to typescript 2.4 and ensured it was installed correctly and I removed my modules folder and made sure I don't have typescript installed globally. But every time my project runs it says version 2.3.4. I looked through the code and I don't see why this would be happing, do you have any ideas?

[TsProject] TypeScript compiler version:  2.3.4

@niemyjski I had a request to update tsproject to the latest version of Typescript. Are you still using/interested in TsProject?

[niemyjski]

Yes, we still use it and I don't think we can get off it unless it's easy to upgrade to something else. I noticed yesterday when I updated my deps that tsproject uses a specific version.

Any ideas if real bundling will be built into typescript some day?

@niemyjski I began updating TsProject to utilize the latest Typescript version. There is an issue with a Typescript AST change which restricts identifier names to be changes ( the field is marked readonly ). This makes the minifier with TsProject fail.
I will need to test a fix for the problem and then conduct further testing to see if other issues present themselves.

Thanks for the update, really appreciate it.

I was just checking in to see if there was any status updates on latest ts support :)

Hello! Thank you for your effort. Are you planning to finish adding support for the latest TypeScript? We are looking for a way to create a merged type definitions and this tool looks like a good fit.

@slavafomin I just don't have any time to make the changes required for the latest Typescript version. My apologies! PR would be welcomed!

[niemyjski]

I know everyone has very little time these days including myself. I was wondering if there was any time to upgrade the deps to latest typescript? I'd be willing to donate to be on latest :)

@niemyjski Hi Blake. If I remember correctly, (it has been a long while since I last looked at the code) there were a few changes to the Typescript AST that caused grief. I will take a few hours to at least determine the scope of work.

@niemyjski I am updating TsProject to utilize Typescript 3.5.x. You may have to do some testing...

Currently, TsProject builds using TS 3.5.1. I will update the GitHub source once I have done some testing.
