Standard package.json key for .ts files

A common TypeScript module structure looks like this:

src/index.ts
dist/index.js
dist/index.d.ts

and a package.json that looks like this:

  "main": "dist/index.js",
  "types": "dist/index.d.ts",

There's a convention to use the package.json key jsnext:main to point to a variant of main that uses ES2015 module syntax. Can we develop a similar convention to point at .ts files, e.g. typescript:main?

Consider a TypeScript project that is sharded across many microlibraries (e.g. my-project-core, my-project-thing-plugin, my-project-other-thing-plugin). I'd like to be able to configure my bundler to import from src/*.ts files for any module whose name starts with my-project. Otherwise, it will be looking in dist/*.js and I'll have to rebuild the plugins any time I make changes in them.

Of course, I could use jsnext:main for this purpose now, but any consumers who aren't using TypeScript would get syntax errors for any files that contained TS-specific syntax like types. Similarly, I could make up my own package.json key and configure my bundler to look there first, but it behooves the community to have a convention here. That will allow bundlers like Webpack, Browserify, Rollup, and Pundle to look in the right place by default.

Examinez les entrées de package.json présentées dans l’issue, en particulier main, types et jsnext:main, puis comparez la manière dont Webpack et Rollup résolvent les points d’entrée des packages. Recherchez si une convention spécifique à TypeScript bénéficie d’un support de la communauté ou des bundlers ; la recherche est considérée comme terminée lorsque la conception et la voie d’adoption de la convention sont clairement établies.
