Description

  • previously said "True when TS", but that isn't accurate

    • upon testing, it appears to be false by default
    • an explicit declaration: true is required in tsconfig.json for
      declaration files (.d.ts) to be output
  • the Compiler Options docs also say it's default false too, so not sure
    why it's different in the TSConfig Reference

Review Notes

Is there some way to auto-generate these from TS itself so that these are never incorrect/out-of-date?

I'm not sure what other discrepancies there may still be between the TSConfig Reference and Compiler Options docs

- previously said "True when TS", but that isn't accurate
  - upon testing, it appears to be false by default
  - an explicit `declaration: true` is required in `tsconfig.json` for
    declaration files (`.d.ts`) to be output

- the Compiler Options docs also say it's default false too, so not sure
  why it's different in the TSConfig Reference
  - c.f. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Website/blob/46b960968f994968b237060065f651a368e5fc63/packages/documentation/copy/en/project-config/Compiler%20Options.md#L47

Great - thanks, yeah, there is no way to automate them I'm afraid. The logic is pretty embedded in the compiler.
