Hello, I am working with Typescript in Visual Studio IDE, but I am not sure which Typescript version I am using, so how can I check Typescript version in Visual Studio IDE?
Easiest way to check Typescript version installed in Visual Studio is
Another way, If you have multiple versions of TypeScript installed on your machine, then you can yo on this path C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript
To check the TypeScript version in Visual Studio, you can follow these steps:
Open Visual Studio.
Open your TypeScript project or solution.
In the Solution Explorer, locate the package.json
file in your project.
Double-click on the package.json
file to open it.
Inside the package.json
file, look for the "devDependencies"
section.
Within the "devDependencies"
section, you should find an entry for
"typescript"
along with its version number. For example:
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^4.2.4",
// other dependencies...
}
The version number (e.g., 4.2.4
) indicates the TypeScript version being used in your project.
Alternatively, you can also check the TypeScript version directly within the Visual Studio editor by following these steps:
Open Visual Studio.
Open your TypeScript project or solution.
In the Solution Explorer, locate a .ts
or .tsx
file.
Right-click on the file and select "Open With" > "Source Code (Text) Editor".
In the editor, go to the top menu and click on "Help" > "About Microsoft Visual Studio".
A dialog box will appear, showing the version information for Visual Studio.
Near the bottom of the dialog box, you should find a section named "Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 20XX" (or a similar name depending on your Visual Studio edition). Within that section, you'll see the TypeScript version mentioned.
Note that these steps may vary slightly depending on the version of Visual Studio you are using, but they should generally work for most recent versions.
