Type checking JS files

The Boring JavaScript Stack templates ships with a jsconfig.json file with configs that allows TypeScript's compiler in editors like VS Code to type check your JS files.

While this is good, you will need to manually maintain a types/index.d.ts file so TypeScript don't complain too much.

Disabling type checking

You can disable type-checking if its too much of an annoyance and you prefer just JavaScript by setting checkJs and allowJs to false:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true, 
    "allowJs": false, 
    "checkJs": true, 
    "checkJs": false
  }
}
