Can I use Typescript instead of JavaScript in liquid files?

Technical Q&A

Hi,

I am currently using JavaScript in liquid files such as in theme.liquid file.

Is it possible to use Typescript instead of JavaScript?

Hi @TomCalmigo ,

This is not possible in my opinion. You can just add JavaScript in liquid file and it will work in 2 ways:

  • {% javascript %}{% endjavascript %}

Hope it helps!

If my answer can help you solve your issue, please mark it as a solution. Thank you and good luck.

Bump, still not possible? I know TS must be compiled to JS anyway, but it would be great to use TS with Shopify.

I created this. It allows you to use TypeScript directly in your templates: SLT: Liquid TypeScript | East Pole
