Way to copy .js files without allowJs flag

[npdev453]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a way to copy .js files in project without allowJs using this library.

Because in composition mode with references and with allowJs options, tsc trying to generate declarations for all .js files (or they should have own .d.ts) and it's a problem for a huge project.

app/module.js:6:1 - error TS9005: Declaration emit for this file requires using private name '(Anonymous function)'. An explicit type annotation may unblock declaration emit.

I see that all .js files skipped there, but maybe we can make it more responsive and allow copying .js by special flag also?

Hi @npdev453,

I'm a little confused... Are you saying the allowJs option doesn't work with the other options you are using?

[npdev453]

Yes, and I can't enable this flag, because it uses not for only copying .jss files.
But I still need to copy .js files into outDir and don't want to use any cmd or bash commands.

Why not use allowJs with the exclude property? But also, allowJs shouldn't be copying over anything, but .js or .jsx files

Heh, yes, allowJs: true do not copy other files, but it does some another things ⚠️ not only copying.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#allowJs

.jss files going to be a part of project and trying to be proceeded with compiler (especially to generate declarations when declaration: true)

When I set allowJs and 'exclude: [*.js]', then nobody going to copy .js at all.
