Configuring which TypeScript version is used?

[ffMathy]

Can we make it so that I can configure which version of TypeScript to use? Can I (for instance) install typescript@next and use that?

It would be great if changing the "typescript" version in package.json worked as expected. 😎

Is this deployed yet? I can't seem to get CodeSandbox to use any TypeScript version other then 3.3.3

@bengry From #1843:

This doesn't change which version is used by the editor yet, I'm meaning to change this later by introducing a BrowserFS backend that can handle UNPKG.

@aleclarson so what does this change?

I guess the issue is that the new syntax cannot be used on the online editor, so this change did not really fix the issue, just prepared for the fix if I understand correctly.

Shouldn't this be re-opened again then?

Could this be re-opened? 🙏
