Question

Hey Guys If I m using TypeScript with Pulumi what is the latest `target` I can use Currently the default seems to be `es2016` Is there any reason why won t I bump it to `es2020` Also as for the `module` definition can I use `ES2020` or `ESNext`

Check out the notes at the bottom of this page <https www pulumi com docs intro languages javascript >

Essentially you can configure anything you like for module and target your IDE will use those

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

Pulumi will use target es6 and module commonjs unless you turn off Typescript support

Hey

You should lose no functionality if you turn off the built in Typescript support you just have to manage all the options yourself

What is the best practice

elegant-pager-5412 · Answer

The app was generated with `es2016` and not `es6`

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

If you re confident in your tsconfig register=ts node magic then manage it yourself you ll get your own preferred environment

Ah maybe they ve update that to es2016 but forgot to update the docs

And how do I pipe it to pulumi

little-cartoon-10569 · Answer

There is no best practice I think It s a bit like deciding between using the aws and awsx packages when buliding your VPC Both are good you just pick which is right for you

I guess I would need to compile it on my own and pipe the results to pulumi

generally you d run your typescript program with the pulumi CLI unless you re using the Pulumi CLI

I m slightly confused If I want the lambdas to contain the most minimal possible code I would like it to use native JS code instead of transpiling it

elegant-pager-5412 · Answer

how can I use custom `tsconfig` options while piping the output to pulumi cli

billowy-army-68599 · Answer

would be good to get a little context on what your desired goal is

elegant-pager-5412 · Answer

< billowy army 68599> Right now it seems like the built in typescript support is for `commonjs` modules and `es2016` which is good but it transpiles the code into a less readable code I would like to know if it s possible to transpile the code into a modern JS syntax
