These changes are largely correctness changes related to nullability, but impact will ultimately depend on your codebase.

Leaving the setting on its default value of “ignore” makes generated code match the semicolon preference detected in the current file. The setting is available now in Visual Studio Code Insiders, and will be available in Visual Studio 16.4 Preview 2 in the Tools Options menu.Ĭhoosing a value of “insert” or “remove” also affects the format of auto-imports, extracted types, and other generated code provided by TypeScript services. TypeScript’s built-in formatter now supports semicolon insertion and removal at locations where a trailing semicolon is optional due to JavaScript’s automatic semicolon insertion (ASI) rules. Historically this comment was only respected in JavaScript source files in the presence of checkJs, but we’ve expanded support to TypeScript files to make migrations easier for all users. TypeScript 3.7 allows us to add // comments to the top of TypeScript files to disable semantic checks. We owe a big thanks to GitHub user who took the initiative to create a proof-of-concept and iterated to provide us with the current version. If you intended to test the function without calling it, you can correct the definition of it to include undefined/ null, or use !! to write something like if (!!user.isAdministrator) to indicate that the coercion is intentional. Uncalled Function ChecksĪ common and dangerous error is to forget to invoke a function, especially if the function has zero arguments or is named in a way that implies it might be a property rather than a function. You can read up more about this change by reading up on its pull request. You can disable this behavior with the compiler option disableSourceOfProjectReferenceRedirect which may be appropriate when working in very large projects where this change may impact editing performance. This means projects using project references will now see an improved editing experience where semantic operations are up-to-date and “just work”. In TypeScript 3.7, when opening a project with dependencies, TypeScript will automatically use the source. Unfortunately, editing a project whose dependencies hadn’t been built (or whose output was out of date) meant that the editing experience wouldn’t work well. TypeScript’s project references provide us with an easy way to break codebases up to give us faster compiles. Build-Free Editing with Project References
This includes feedback on difficulty of adopting the flag so we can understand how we can make migration easier. We strongly encourage users to try the useDefineForClassFields flag and report back on our issue tracker or in the comments below.

To achieve similar checking for issues, you can create a separate project that targets ES5 and uses noEmit to avoid a full build.įor more information, you can take a look at the original pull request for these changes. d.ts files.Īs an example, the following code snippetĬurrently useDefineForClassFields is only available when targeting ES5 and upwards, since fineProperty doesn’t exist in ES3. When declaration emit is turned on, TypeScript figures out the best way to transform JSDoc comments and CommonJS exports into valid type declarations and the like in the output. The way that this works is that when using allowJs, TypeScript has some best-effort analyses to understand common JavaScript patterns however, the way that some patterns are expressed in JavaScript don’t necessarily look like their equivalents in TypeScript. The most impactful outcome of this feature might a bit subtle: with TypeScript 3.7, users can write libraries in JSDoc annotated JavaScript and support TypeScript users.
TypeScript 3.7 changes that, and allows the two options to be used together! This was a frustrating limitation because it meant users couldn’t use the declaration flag when migrating codebases, even if they were JSDoc-annotated. Unfortunately, declaration didn’t work with the allowJs flag which allows mixing TypeScript and JavaScript input files. They’re also important because they allow TypeScript to interoperate with existing JavaScript libraries that weren’t built with TypeScript in mind.įinally, a benefit that is often underappreciated: both TypeScript and JavaScript users can benefit from these files when using editors powered by TypeScript to get things like better auto-completion. d.ts files are important for a couple of reasons.įirst of all, they’re important because they allow TypeScript to type-check against other projects without re-checking the original source code.
d.ts files (declaration files) from TypeScript source files (i.e.ts and. The declaration flag in TypeScript allows us to generate. For more information, you can read up on the original pull request.
