2. In tsconfig,json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["./node_modules/@lingui/macro/global"]
  }
}

Expected behavior

Additional context

  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.24.0",
    "@lingui/cli": "^4.7.1",
    "@lingui/macro": "^4.7.1",
    "babel-plugin-macros": "^3.1.0",
    "typescript": "^5.2.2"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@lingui/core": "^4.7.1",
  }

under ./node_modules/@lingui/marco there is no global

@welsea thanks for pointing this out!

The TypeScript documentation looks a bit misleading because the global.d.ts file is not being included in the distribution after the migration to unbuild (https://github.com/lingui/js-lingui/releases/tag/v4.0.0-next.4)

@thekip do we just need to include it in the files array in the package.json?

I wouldn't want to do that. it's been a while since 4.0 release and it doesn't seem to be used much. This solution with "global.d.ts" file was highly questionable initially i don't want to continue supporting this.
I would instead remove this from the documentation and focus on separating the macro into a js and react version
