# Using Typescript Types with JSDoc

Experimentation repo for various ways to type react apps.

See [./src](./src) folder for examples

## Globally enable TS checking

To enable TS to run everywhere use the [`js/ts.implicitProjectConfig.checkJS`](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/working-with-javascript#_type-checking-javascript) setting in your VScode workspace or user settings.

```json
"js/ts.implicitProjectConfig.checkJs": true
```

## Typescript ignore errors

> Pro-tip: [CLI tool to automatically add ignore comments](https://github.com/kawamataryo/suppress-ts-errors)

The `//@ts-ignore` tells TypeScript to ignore the TypeScript errors in the line following the comment.

```js
function mapValues(object, mapFunction) {
  // @ts-ignore
  return Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(object).map(([key, value]) => [key, mapFunction(value)]))
}
```

This `//@ts-expect-error` will ignore any typechecking failures in the next line, but will fail the typecheck if there are no errors

```js
function mapValues(object, mapFunction) {
  //@ts-expect-error
  return Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(object).map(([key, value]) => [key, mapFunction(value)]))
}
```

[Ignoring multiple lines](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/19573#issuecomment-457598978)

```js
// @ts-ignore-start
// @ts-ignore-end
```

[Nuclear option to disable in file](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/19573#issuecomment-924972932)

```js
// @ts-nocheck
```
