How can I create a const assignment in a typescript transformer?










1















I can create a variable assignment with this code:



ts.createVariableStatement(undefined, 
[ts.createVariableDeclaration('a', undefined,
ts.createStringLiteral('42'))])

/// yields: var a = 42


I cannot however create a const assignment. I am quite sure it should work like so:



ts.createVariableStatement([ts.createModifier(ts.SyntaxKind.ConstKeyword)], 
[ts.createVariableDeclaration('a', undefined,
ts.createStringLiteral('42'))])


but this yields an error:



[!] Error: Unexpected keyword 'var'


an no javascript is emitted due to that error. The error message is very confusing as well.

'a',
undefined,
