How to emit .d.ts and .d.ts.map files?

[facinick]

I cannot use ts-loader to generate declaration files with this plugin as that'll cause double type checking. How can I use this plugin and also have declaration files generated?

[facinick]

What I understand is this plugin cannot generate .d.ts files, so what is the use case of this plugin? A large library which needs to save time on all the typescript type checking will most likely want to export their types too! This plugin is not useful for libraries where we need to export types as well, but perhaps apps where it's the final product that doesn't need types exported

I searched the related issues generate d.ts, seems that many people wants this, and so do I, too.

@PierBJX sorry for the late reply. I've accomplish that with the v6.5.0 version of the plugin, with typescript.build set to true and typescript.mode set to write-dts(in a project of webpack v4 and babel-loader) Seems that both of these two options are needed, which is not documented clearly. but, so far, so good.

@aprilandjan No problem, I found the answer and I add a comment in the PR ;)
