Typescript ignoring types

[joshhornby]

I have upload an example what highlights this issue, I am passing a string into this component but the interface shows a boolean (https://github.com/joshhornby/hjs-webpack-ts/blob/master/src/Test.tsx#L4) This should throw a error, but instead this gets rendered. As if the types are being ignored.

I am trying to render both TS and JSX (Babel)

Am I missing a setting in my tsconfig?

I don't have any experience with typescript myself, so I'm just guessing. But our setup of the awesome-typescript-loader only accepts .ts and tsx files. Could it be that because your app.js file doesn't have that extension, it's not loaded through the compiler and therefore isn't type checked?

TLDR - try renaming app.js to app.ts, update your webpack.config.js accordingly.

Please let me know if this helps at all.
