## Install to Cloud9 IDE
[Cloud9 IDE](https://c9.io/) is Google Docs for Code, which is my favorite IDE today. Almost all my wechaty development based on Cloud9(Before Oct 2016, or v0.0.5).
> Cloud9 IDE written in JavaScript uses Node.js on the back-end. It uses Docker containers for its workspaces and hosted on Google Compute Engine.
### 1. Open in Cloud9 IDE

### 2. Set default to Node.js v6
Open Terminal in Cloud9 IDE, use nvm to install nodejs v6, which is required by Wechaty.
The above command will clone wechaty source code to your current directory.

# About TypeScript
[Typescript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/) is JavaScript that scales. It comes from Microsoft, and is the popularest language in [Google Angular](https://angular.io).
# Documented
## Benifits from Typescript
## wiki
Wechaty is fully typed by TypeScript since v0.5, 12th Oct 2016. And got benefits as the following:
1. [[IDE|IDE]]
1. [[Xvfb|Xvfb]]
1. [[TypeScript|TypeScript]]
1. [[NpmLog|NpmLog]]
1. [[SimilarProject|SimilarProject]]
1. Better async coding style: `async`/`await` (now we use `co` module)
1. Strong type definition/checking for data structure
1. Auto completion/Static syntax check with [VSCode IDE](https://code.visualstudio.com)
1. Static variable that can initializing inside class
1. Public/private setting for methods/member variables
1. other benefits...
The lastest javascript version is: [v0.4.0](https://github.com/wechaty/wechaty/releases/tag/v0.4.0)(2016/10/9)

* Work Log: https://github.com/wechaty/wechaty/issues/40
[VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) is highly recommended as developing IDE for Wechaty with TypeScript because we can get the benefit of [intelligent code completion, parameter info, and member lists](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript).

### NpmLog with Timestamp ###
Here's a quick and dirty patch, to npmlog/log.js
```typescript
m.message.split(/\r?\n/).forEach(function(line){
vardate=newDate();
varmin=date.getMinutes()
varsec=date.getSeconds()
varhour=date.getHours()
if(sec<10){sec='0'+sec}

this.write(hour+':'+min+':'+sec+'')

this.write('')
