+## `module.stripTypeScriptTypes(code[, options])`
+
+<!-- YAML
+added: REPLACEME
+-->
+
+> Stability: 1.0 - Early development
+
+* `code` {string} The code to strip type annotations from.
+* `options` {Object}
+  * `mode` {string} **Default:** `'strip'`. Possible values are:
+    * `'strip'` Only strip type annotations without performing the transformation of TypeScript features.
+    * `'transform'` Strip type annotations and transform TypeScript features to JavaScript.
+  * `sourceMap` {boolean} **Default:** `false`. Only when `mode` is `'transform'`, if `true`, a source map
+    will be generated for the transformed code.
+  * `sourceUrl` {string}  Specifies the source url used in the source map.
+* Returns: {string} The code with type annotations stripped.
+  `module.stripTypeScriptTypes()` removes type annotations from TypeScript code. It
+  can be used to strip type annotations from TypeScript code before running it
+  with `vm.runInContext()` or `vm.compileFunction()`.
+  By default, it will throw an error if the code contains TypeScript features
+  that require transformation such as `Enums`,
+  see [type-stripping][] for more information.
+  When mode is `'transform'`, it also transforms TypeScript features to JavaScript,
+  see [transform TypeScript features][] for more information.
+  When mode is `'strip'`, source maps are not generated, because locations are preserved.
+  If `sourceMap` is provided, when mode is `'strip'`, an error will be thrown.
+
+_WARNING_: The output of this function should not be considered stable across Node.js versions,
+due to changes in the TypeScript parser.
+
+```mjs
+import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
+const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code);
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints: const a         = 1;
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
+const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code);
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints: const a         = 1;
+```
+
+If `sourceUrl` is provided, it will be used appended as a comment at the end of the output:
+
+```mjs
+import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
+const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'strip', sourceUrl: 'source.ts' });
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints: const a         = 1\n\n//# sourceURL=source.ts;
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
+const code = 'const a: number = 1;';
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'strip', sourceUrl: 'source.ts' });
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints: const a         = 1\n\n//# sourceURL=source.ts;
+```
+
+When `mode` is `'transform'`, the code is transformed to JavaScript:
+
+```mjs
+import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module';
+const code = `
+  namespace MathUtil {
+    export const add = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;
+  }`;
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'transform', sourceMap: true });
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints:
+// var MathUtil;
+// (function(MathUtil) {
+//     MathUtil.add = (a, b)=>a + b;
+// })(MathUtil || (MathUtil = {}));
+// # sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64, ...
+```
+
+```cjs
+const { stripTypeScriptTypes } = require('node:module');
+const code = `
+  namespace MathUtil {
+    export const add = (a: number, b: number) => a + b;
+  }`;
+const strippedCode = stripTypeScriptTypes(code, { mode: 'transform', sourceMap: true });
+console.log(strippedCode);
+// Prints:
+// var MathUtil;
+// (function(MathUtil) {
+//     MathUtil.add = (a, b)=>a + b;
