Document File name has a '.js' extension - stripping it

Search Terms: typescript File name has a '.js' extension - stripping it

Code

https://github.com/sguillia/ts-repro-III

other.ts

import * as index from "./index.js"

index.ts

export { }

Compile with:

tsc other.ts --traceResolution

Expected behavior:

Does not compile?

Actual behavior:

$ tsc other.ts --traceResolution
...
File name '/path/to/ts-repro-III/index.js' has a '.js' extension - stripping it.
...

This document is very good:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/module-resolution.html

But it doesn't talk about resolution of modules with their extensions.

The actual behavior is fine but I did not manage to find its documentation

Same issue for jsx

$ tsc other.ts --traceResolution
...
File name '/path/to/ts-repro-III/index.jsx' has a '.jsx' extension - stripping it.
...

Would it be possible to document

• which extension are trimmed?
• what look-ups are performed based on the file name with extension stripped?

Commencez par la page du handbook sur la résolution des modules liée dans l’issue et comparez son explication actuelle avec la sortie de traceResolution pour les exemples .js et .jsx. Documentez quelles extensions sont supprimées et quelles recherches sont effectuées ensuite, puis vérifiez que la page répond aux deux questions sans modifier le comportement du compilateur.
