Install type script source, with 'tns create'

[ralphmason]

Sorry if this has been asked before.

It would be really nice to install the typescript source along side the compiles javascript when an application is created.

The compiled javascript is much harder to read & change than the typescript.

+1 tns create should support an option parameter to include the typescript source

Yep, these are already in the works, commented in the Choose template functionality and Enable transpilers support in NativeScript projects issues.

Once both the features available, we will publish the templates in TypeScript as well.

For the time being, you can view the TypeScript source of the templates in the NativeScript apps folder. Template are located in folders, named by the "template-{templateName}" scheme.

By the way, building the NativeScript/NativeScript repo, you'll get the tns-template-x.x.x-ts.tgz archives, which are actually the templates packed as npm.

Closing the issue now, for it gets a duplicate of the two, listed above.
