ts-loader is a powerful TypeScript loader for webpack, a popular JavaScript module bundler. It enables developers to seamlessly integrate TypeScript code into their webpack workflows. By utilizing TypeScript's compiler directly, ts-loader provides robust type checking and supports the latest ECMAScript features. This package allows for efficient TypeScript compilation during the bundling process, enhancing code quality and developer productivity in webpack-based projects. It streamlines the development process by removing the need for manual compilation steps.
ts-loader's release frequency peaked in 2017-2018, with multiple versions deployed monthly. There were consistent releases from 2015 to 2021, with some fluctuations. The period between late 2021 and 2024 saw infrequent releases, with gaps of several months between versions. Only one version have been released so far in 2025 (January).
ts-loader downloads show a general upward trend from February 2024 to July 2025, peaking at approximately 40.7 million downloads. There was a significant jump in downloads starting March 2024. August 2025 downloads are currently lower, likely due to the month not being complete.
