ts-loader is the official TypeScript loader for webpack, compiling .ts and .tsx files during webpack builds. It integrates the TypeScript compiler with webpack's module pipeline, supporting sourcemaps, transpileOnly mode, custom transformers, and project references.

Use cases

• compile typescript files with webpack
• bundle a typescript web app using webpack
• use tsconfig. settings in webpack builds
• speed up webpack builds with transpileOnly mode
• generate sourcemaps for typescript in webpack
• use custom typescript transformers in webpack

When to choose

• you build a TypeScript project with webpack and need full tsc integration
• you need type checking or declaration handling during webpack builds
• you rely on webpack 4/5 with TypeScript and features like project references or custom transformers

When to avoid

• you use Vite, esbuild, or another modern bundler instead of webpack
• you only need fast transpilation without webpack (use tsc or esbuild directly)
• you need TypeScript 7 (Go-based) support before the port is fully complete
