How I can create self-executing anonymous functions using type script?
For example
(function() {
var someClass = {
}
}.call(this));
I want a built a plugin that may work for Node.js, also for fron-tend as well.

/**
* Self executing anonymous function using TS.
*/
(()=> {
// Whatever is here will be executed as soon as the script is loaded.
console.log('executed')
})();

In that case you should compile your TypeScript in AMD and use an AMD loader on the frontend, like http://requirejs.org/docs/start.html
On the server side, you would need to use requirejs
node package as well to load the file. Take a look at this: http://requirejs.org/docs/node.html
Basically there are two ways to compile TS to JS, using AMD, which is browser compliant, or using CommonJS, which is node.js compliant. Loading an AMD script in the browser or in the server needs to use an AMD compliant loader, and *requirejs** is one of them. (the most famous/used I'd say)
First rule in TypeScript: Any valid JavaScript is valid TypeScript.
No, there are are no special way to write Self-Executing Anonymous Functions in TS as of right now.
But, below is some code that might be of some use in your situation.
Every Class in TS is compiled to a (Named) Self-Executing Anonymous Functions, which returns a function.
Example:
//ts
class someClass {
someProperty = "this is a property";
}
Translates to
//js
var someClass = (function () {
function someClass() {
this.someProperty = "this is a property";
}
return someClass;
})();
Hope this is of some help.
An self-executing, immediate, recursive top-level React function in Typescript:
(function handleAutomatonTypeChange(newtype: AutomatonType) {
ReactDOM.render(
<Automaton automatonType={newtype}
onAutomatonTypeChange={handleAutomatonTypeChange} />,
document.getElementById('automaton')
);
})('diadic');
(function(){
document.body.innerHTML = "Self Calling Function";
}.call(this));
