Description

Suggestion

extendedDiagnostic outputs per-project statistics, but it's difficult to map those statistics back to the sub-projects. It would be great to start each section with tsconfig path that the statistics relate to.

✅ Viability Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

  • [ x] This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
  • [ x] This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
  • [ x] This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
  • [x ] This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
  • [x ] This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

⭐ Suggestion

Add tsconfig.json path for each diagnostic section.

💻 Use Cases

I want to use this for understanding high level performance of our different projects without having to open traces.

Research direction

Start with the extendedDiagnostics entry point and reproduce the output for a composite project with multiple sub-projects. Trace how each per-project statistics section is emitted; done means every section identifies the tsconfig path it describes, with existing diagnostics behavior preserved.
