Typed specimens
Load TSX markup or a generic TypeScript function
The two examples expose different page-layout risks: nested typed markup in one, and dense reusable type relationships in the other.
Typed lab booking panel
A TSX component combining a string-literal union, readonly data, typed callbacks, destructured props, filtering, and mapped markup. It tests whether types and JSX remain visually separable.
Generic result indexer
A plain .ts exercise with discriminated unions, a generic constraint, readonly arrays, control-flow narrowing, and a Map. It is suited to type-system explanations and code reviews.
TSX file guide
What a .tsx file contains—and what this viewer shows
TSX is TypeScript source that may embed JSX syntax. The TypeScript handbook requires the .tsx extension when JSX is present and a matching JSX compiler option when the project is built. Code2PDF can act as a focused TSX file viewer for the source itself: open the file, read or edit its text, and preview conventional PDF pages without needing the project toolchain.

Type-aware page craft
Make dense TypeScript relationships readable on paper
Type annotations add useful context but also lengthen signatures, properties, and JSX props. Code2PDF retains your layout instead of applying a formatter, so intentional breaks carry directly into the PDF.
Separate type parameters from work
Put long generic parameters and constraints on deliberate lines, then keep the function body visually distinct. This helps a reviewer connect each `extends` or `keyof` relationship without losing the implementation.
Group unions by meaning
For long unions and discriminated states, place each alternative on its own line. Retain the discriminant property near the top so narrowing branches are easier to compare with the declared cases.
Keep TSX types near the component
Place a component’s props interface or type alias close to the component when submitting an excerpt. Split long JSX props and children so angle brackets are not confused with generic syntax.
Label project assumptions
A standalone PDF cannot reveal `strict`, `target`, `module`, path aliases, or JSX emit settings from tsconfig.json. Add the relevant compiler target to the title or a short opening comment.
Typed submission recipes
Choose a layout around the code contract
TypeScript PDFs work best when the settings preserve relationships among declarations, uses, and narrowing branches.
TSX component assessment
Typed props, hooks, handlers, and UI state
- A4 or Letter
- 10–11 px text
- 1.5 cm margins
- Line numbers on
- Light theme
A wider code area reduces wrapping where prop types meet nested markup.
Types and API contract
Interfaces, schemas, DTOs, and declaration excerpts
- A4 or Letter
- 11–12 px text
- Title names the contract
- Line numbers on
- 2 cm margins
Slightly larger text makes punctuation differences such as `?`, `|`, and `&` easier to review.
Node.js implementation appendix
Services, scripts, and repository excerpts
- Match report paper
- 10–11 px text
- Page numbers on
- Title includes module target
- Light theme
The runtime and module label supplies context that a detached source listing cannot infer.
Language context
Four facts worth recording with TypeScript source
TypeScript evolves independently of the JavaScript runtime. Recording the compiler version and important project options prevents a future reader from assuming that every displayed type feature works under every toolchain.
- TypeScript was unveiled publiclyMicrosoft introduced TypeScript publicly on October 1 as a typed language and tooling layer for JavaScript development.
- TypeScript 1.0Version 1.0 provided a stable language, compiler, and language service for large JavaScript applications.
- Typed JSX needs project contextA .tsx file can contain JSX, while the project’s JSX option controls how that syntax is checked and emitted.
- One flag represents a family of checksThe strict option enables a group of stronger type-checking behaviors, and that group may evolve between compiler versions.
Static source boundary
The PDF preserves types; it does not prove they pass
TypeScript types are developer-facing source information and are erased from ordinary JavaScript output. Code2PDF displays that source information but never invokes the compiler that would validate or remove it.
Preserved in the PDF
- Interfaces, aliases, type annotations, generics, unions, intersections, and assertions
- TSX tags, typed props, embedded expressions, imports, comments, and indentation
- Exact source order as selectable, searchable, syntax-colored PDF text
- Chosen title, line numbers, page numbers, paper size, theme, and margins
Not part of this conversion
- Type checking, `tsc` diagnostics, emitted JavaScript, source maps, or declaration output
- Reading tsconfig.json, resolving aliases or packages, or selecting library definitions
- Running Node.js, rendering React, applying CSS, calling APIs, or capturing program output
- TeX conversion: a .tex document is unrelated to a .ts or .tsx source file
Compiler-context preflight
Check the source and its assumptions before export
A useful TypeScript hand-in combines a stable listing with enough context to understand its type environment.
- 01
Run the assigned formatter, compiler, linter, and tests in the original project before conversion.
- 02
Record the TypeScript version when the work uses recently introduced syntax or changed checking behavior.
- 03
State relevant `strict`, JSX, module, and target settings without pasting an entire configuration file unnecessarily.
- 04
Confirm that .tsx is used for files containing JSX and that the converter remains in TypeScript mode.
- 05
Remove API keys, environment values, private endpoints, student records, and irrelevant generated declarations.
- 06
Inspect generic signatures, unions, TSX props, import lists, page breaks, title, filename, and line references.
TS and TSX questions
Answers for converting and viewing typed source
How do I convert a TSX file to PDF?
Open the .tsx file or paste its source, confirm TypeScript mode, choose the page settings, inspect the preview, and download. The PDF shows typed source rather than rendered UI.
How can I save a .ts file as a PDF?
Open the local .ts file in Code2PDF and use the same preview-and-download workflow. The resulting text stays searchable, with optional line numbers and title.
What is a TSX file?
A .tsx file is TypeScript source that may include JSX syntax. Projects also need an appropriate JSX compiler option to type-check and emit that markup.
Can I use Code2PDF as a TSX file viewer?
Yes, for plain source inspection and paged preview. It does not provide project-wide navigation, compiler diagnostics, dependency resolution, or a rendered component view.
Does TSX to PDF render a React component?
No. The converter prints TSX source code. It does not start React, interpret props, fetch data, apply styles, or capture a visual interface.
Will it compile TypeScript or read tsconfig.json?
No. Code2PDF does not invoke `tsc`, load compiler options, validate type annotations, emit JavaScript, or resolve imports. Run those checks in your development environment.
Are .mts and .cts files supported?
Yes. Both extensions open in TypeScript mode alongside .ts and .tsx. Mention the intended module system when it affects how an instructor should read the code.
Is a .tex file supported by the TypeScript converter?
No. .tex is normally a TeX or LaTeX document and is not TypeScript. This page accepts TypeScript-family extensions, not TeX document source.
