npm install @pika/plugin-build-types --save-dev
# yarn:
yarn add @pika/plugin-build-types --dev

Options

• "tsconfig": The relative path to the tsconfig.json config file to use. Defaults to the top-level project TypeScript config file, if one exists.
• "args": Optional, an array of additional arguments for tsc. Example: ["--build"]
• "entrypoint" (Default: "types"): Customize the package.json manifest entrypoint set by this plugin. Accepts either a string, an array of strings, or null to disable entrypoint. Changing this is not recommended for most usage.

Result

1. Adds or generates TypeScript definitions for your package build: dist-types/

• If your package is written in TypeScript: Types are automatically generated from your source.
• If your package already includes custom-written type definitions: These files are automatically copied into your package build.
• Otherwise: Automatically generate definitions from your JavaScript source. (Note that this currently requires that you include @pika/plugin-build-node or some other Node.js build earlier in the pipeline.)

2. Adds a "types" entrypoint to your built package.json manifest.
