Add an option to skip ///<reference> check on d.ts files #9945
Description
Related SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38567936/can-typescript-module-reference-chain-be-ignored
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:
/// <reference path='../node/node.d.ts' />
/// <reference path='../jquery/jquery.d.ts' />
import EventEmitter = NodeJS.EventEmitter;
export interface VirtualConsole extends EventEmitter {
sendTo(console: Console): VirtualConsole;
}
export function jQueryify(window: Window, jqueryUrl: string, callback: (window: Window, jquery: JQuery) => any): void;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, and TS6053 File not found. --skipLibCheck on TS 2.0 Suppresses TS2304 and TS2503 but not TS6053, so I want a new option to also suppress TS6053.

I'd image that any error originating form a lib definition will be surpressed with
skipLibCheck. Don't want to ignore invalid file references that are not in thelibarea.saschanaz commentedon Jul 26, 2016
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

I want to resolve existing modules and ignore others. However, probably I will now just use
@typesand will not bother.mhegazy commentedon Oct 25, 2016
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.
