My understanding is that Typescript needs to be compiled to
javascript. You can't serve typescript directly to a browser.
So as long as you are doing this in a separate file, vibe.d can serve
up the javascript files just fine.

I am working on a web app using a vibe.d but I prefer typescript to
javascript. So I want to use typescript. My question is that can I use
typescript instead of javascript since it must be compiled to
javascript?
You can use it, but you have to compile it yourself. Vibe.d does nothing
with the javascript except serve it to the browser. It has no
restrictions on what files can be sent, but does not convert anything
for you.
Does the vibe.d framework compile typescript to javascript?
No. This means that if you wanted to use, for instance, a diet template
to generate typescript, this would not work.
My recommendation in that case is to generate javascript data using diet
templates, and use it from a Typescript file that is pre-compiled before
being served via vibe.d.
