TypeScript support

[nicolas377]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I just found this, and I wanted to ask if TypeScript support is coming in the future.

Describe the solution you'd like
Support for the TypeScript compiler. I can make a pr for it if needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It isn't hard to modify the npm scripts to run npx tsc and then xt-build.

Additional context
Could be a options on initial setup.

You can leave this open, I am considering how it should and could work, but need to get better at typescript first.

In the meantime if you already have setup build from ts -> js that build output can be piped to the build command.

[nicolas377]

I'm assuming that the best way to implement that would be use tsc with a outFile param.

[nicolas377]

Is it possible that we could use tsc to compile to ESNext, and then use babel to transpile down if needed?

[nkrusch]

I think it would be possible to do this now at a project level, the way you have described in the original issue. It is not the ideal experience, but it should work for the time being.

Guys, I don't understand very well... has the suprote already been added? if not, what would this workaround be like?

[viperfan7]

Has any work been done to add TypeScript compatibility, or does anyone know of a way to do so on a per-project basis?

Please see #204 for an easy workaround (it's just a few character changes to build.json).
