Provide --build/--incremental APIs for build tools #29978
Description
Activity
This would be great. The TensorFlow.js team is using karma-typescript for testing in the browser, and we can't migrate to composite build yet since the compiler API doesn't work for composite.
const tsconfig = ; // parsed ts config // tsconfig.fileNames includes only the files mentioned in "include". ts.createProgram(tsconfig.fileNames, tsconfig.options, compilerHost); // Failed since `fileNames` doesn't contain files from "referenced projects"

Reacted by Michael Loughry, Melih Yıldız, Wesley Harris, Seth Fowler, Denes Papp, WanderWang and ulrichbThanks for the new APIs, Sheetal Nandi (@sheetalkamat).
Is there a separate issue open for updating the docs? I know, personally, I've found the docs around the compiler APIs (as opposed to the language itself) to be rather lacking and often out-of-date.
Reacted by Nick Ribal, ulrichb, Denes Papp, Andrew Lisowski and JayReacted by Arpad Borsos, Bnaya Peretz, Denes Papp and Andrew LisowskiNot that I am aware of. Daniel Rosenwasser (@DanielRosenwasser) do you want me to keep this open or create new issue for documentation.

Hmm. This issue has been labeled with 3.5, ... and also has just been moved in the roadmap from 3.6 to 3.5 ... but I cannot find e.g.
createIncrementalProgram()in the declarations oftypescript@3.5.3.So what's going on? /cc Daniel Rosenwasser (@DanielRosenwasser)

When we added support for composite projects and implemented
--buildmode (#3469, #25600), we only provided a few APIs, but not enough that 3rd party tools could defer to TypeScript's understanding of composite projects to instruct these tools how to build intelligently.We'd like to provide some stable API so tools like gulp and Webpack can easily operate over composite projects with project references.
