Typescript compiler example for Spark AR
Typescript for Spark AR
UPDATE: v106+ supports typescript natively
Out of the box, the Spark AR JS runtime doesn't support things like async/await, or Array.includes. This project shows how to configure the tsconfig so it will compile your modern JS into something that plays nicely with Spark.
It's a bit of a hack, since there's not a complete source for Spark types, but they are referenced in the default tsconfig that is generated when you add a script to your project. As a result, typescript will complain about missing references. As far as I can tell, the compiler works fine, but the type checker will complain every time.

Install NodeJS LTS.
Install the dependencies:
cd scriptsnpm i
