✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types
• This feature would agree with the rest of our Design Goals: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/TypeScript-Design-Goals

⭐ Suggestion

Provide a warning when triple slash directives are found places where they are ignored.

eg.

import { AudioBuffer } from '@/audio/AudioBuffer';

/// <reference lib="WebWorker" />

Typescript could emit a warning on line 3 "triple slash directive is ignored due to not being first" and a quick fix to move it to the top.

This would provide clarity in the case that people don't remember (or haven't read) the docs.

📃 Motivating Example

I just spent 20 minutes with a file equivalent to the above trying to work out why the webworker types would only get included when i commented out my import statements. I thought it was some problem with imports specifically.

No se nombran archivos fuente ni pruebas. Empieza por localizar el manejo del compilador de las directivas triple-slash y la infraestructura relacionada de quick-fix del servicio de lenguaje. Se considera terminado cuando las directivas ignoradas producen una advertencia con el texto solicitado y ofrecen una corrección que las mueve al principio, con cobertura para el ejemplo de un import antes de la directiva.
