skipLibCheck. Don't want to ignore invalid file references that are not in thelibarea.Basarat Ali Syed (@basarat) I think some people still want to ensure that they have all required files so that they do not meet unexpected
anytype. Skipping type check means a dev trusts a type definition but does not always mean the dev self-trusts.I would like it, however :D
Isn't this basically the same as
--noResolve?if you do not want the compiler to resolve any files for you, use --noResolve. but that means that all your modules will not be resolved.
I want to resolve existing modules and ignore others. However, probably I will now just use
@typesand will not bother.My recommendation is to not use
/// <reference path=".." />or/// <reference types=".." />all together; instead use your tsconfig.json to control what files are picked and where they are found, there are a large set of options to enable this includingtypes,typeRoots,paths,rootDirs, andbaseUrl.Reacted by Kagami Sascha Rosylight and Aluan Haddad- locked and limited conversation to collaborators

Some libraries have jQuery or node.js support on them and the corresponding type definitions have references to jquery.d.ts and node.d.ts.
Below is an example with jsdom.d.ts:
I want to skip node.d.ts and jquery.d.ts as I don't need them. Just excluding those files from project raises
TS2304 Cannot find name,TS2503 Cannot find namespace, andTS6053 File not found.--skipLibCheckon TS 2.0 Suppresses TS2304 and TS2503 but not TS6053, so I want a new option to also suppress TS6053.
