compileOnSave

Setting a top-level property compileOnSave signals to the IDE to generate all files for a given tsconfig.json upon saving.

{
    "compileOnSave": true,
    "compilerOptions": {
        ...
    },
    "exclude": [
        ...
    ]
}

This feature is available since TypeScript 1.8.4 and onward, but needs to be directly supported by IDE’s. Currently, examples of supported IDE’s are:

• Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3
• JetBrains WebStorm
• Atom with atom-typescript
