Request for official prebuilt Windows binaries (tsgo.exe) published via GitHub Releases, without requiring npm.

[PaulHuizer]

Since tsgo opens the opportunity to utilize typescript without
Npm dependency, it would be very helpfull if tsgo.exe binary for windows would be officially distributed from this repo / relases.

This would enable scenarios like blazor ssr with vue interactivity on the client to benefit from typescript.

Blazor? Are you just looking for a NuGet package?

[PaulHuizer]

If TsGo.exe can be delivered via nuget, perhaps even as a MsBuild target (?), yeah why not. But tbh, I was merely thinking about a tsgo.exe (?), which can integrate in the MsBuild process to compile typescript.

[jakebailey]

If you're using vue or any other lib, isn't it implied that you already are using npm?

[PaulHuizer]

Not perse, in this case I'm working with Blazor SSR, Vue Global (composition) and a bunch of ES Modules. I prefer to do the scripting in TS, since we use TsGen to generate Typescript that helps with the BFF API. So, the only reason we actually need NodeJs is for compiling TS. TsGo would/could make this node free ;-)

How are you doing dependencies for the Blazor side, if any? Nuget? Also, how are you bringing in vue? And last, what IDE are you on? We're working on a nuget package that will bring tsgo.exe with no npm/node dependencies. It's early stages, though, and I don't really have a good ETA for you right now.

[PaulHuizer]

Blazor Dependencies in Blazor using Nuget. Vue with a script tag in the header, and the IDE is VS2026.

tsgo.exe as nuget package without npm/node dep ... sounds good IMHO. Thank you!
