Description

Courtesy of @ivogabe on Gitter on August 14, 2015 5:26 AM:

Question about the API, is there an exported method that returns the output filename of a source file? It should follow the options outDir & rootDir of course.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the internal function that computes the output file path (likely in src/services/tsconfig.ts or src/compiler/emitter.ts) and export it as a public API method.
