Update Typescript version in Visual Studio Code

Typescript v2.2 was released today and it offers something that I was waiting for…generate members for interface.

Steps are pretty easy. Here we go.

• Download and install the new version of Typescript
npm install -g typescript
• Open Visual Studio Code and update the setting typescript.tsdk with the following:
  "typescript.tsdk" : "{your_path_to_global_npm}\\typescript\\lib"
  Note: you can get your npm root path by typing npm root -g
• open a Typescript file in Visual Studio Code and you should now see 2.2.1 in the status bar

You can find the release notes for Typescript v2.2 here

Enjoy.
