How can I write, build and run a node.js app in Visual Studio? I install the TypeScript extension on VS and the node.js package. When I create new project of type TypeScript it is only able to write script for browsers only.
Update
I want autocomplete and error handling for node.js libraries
You need to include a type definition for node.js.
This file declares all of the operations for node.js so you can get auto-completion and type safety.
/// <reference path="./node.d.ts" />
var x = new SlowBuffer(5);
You can just use VS as an editor, there's no need for solution files or anything.
To create a node.js app first install the typescript package:
npm install -g typescript
Then compile your file into javascript:
tsc app.ts
Run your app as a node process:
node app.js
