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?

从 issue 中链接的模块解析 handbook 页面开始，将其当前说明与 .js 和 .jsx 示例的 traceResolution 输出进行比较。记录哪些扩展名会被去除，以及接下来会执行哪些查找，然后确认该页面在不改变编译器行为的情况下回答了这两个问题。
