Visual Studio TypeScript post-compile-on-save event

Question

I have a TypeScript project with 'compile on save' option enabled. I would like to execute external command (executable file) after every time I save a file in my TypeScript project.

How to do it?

Answer 1

Compile on save is specific to typescript and not available as a build step. You can do that using external tools e.g combine https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch and https://github.com/grunt-ts/grunt-ts

Answer 2

There is a sample extension for Visual Commander that runs cppcheck on file save (#2) using DTE.Events.DocumentEvents.DocumentSaved. You can easily adapt it to run your executable instead.
