💻 Code

This is not the same issue as https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/50715, that issue is about type mappings that lose the JSDoc period.

I'm talking about what happens in the .d.ts file generated for source like this where JSDoc does survive type mapping:

import z from 'zod'

export const schema = z.object({
  /**
   * Some nice JSDoc
   */
  foo: z.string(),
})

const x = schema.parse({foo: 'a'}).foo
                                // ^^^ hovering foo shows the JSDoc

🙁 Actual behavior

Hovering the parsed .foo in the source file displays the JSDoc for the property:

But if I consume the same type from the generated .d.ts file, I don't get the JSDoc:

🙂 Expected behavior

We should get the same JSDoc when consuming the .d.ts file as we do when consuming the source file it was generated from.

Additional information about the issue

If we look at the generated .d.ts the problem is clear: tsc isn't outputting JSDoc it has in memory for mapped type properties to the generated type literals:

import z from 'zod';
export declare const schema: z.ZodObject<{
  /**
   * Some nice JSDoc
   */
  foo: z.ZodString;
}, "strip", z.ZodTypeAny, {
  foo: string; // (tsc should have copied the JSDoc to this property)
}, {
  foo: string; // (and to this one)
}>;
//# sourceMappingURL=Schema.d.ts.map

It would at least be nice to have an option to output these copies of JSDoc, even though it would make the declaration file bigger.

Reproduziere die Ausgabe der mapped-type-Deklaration mit dem verknüpften TypeScript Playground und vergleiche die generierte .d.ts mit dem Quell-JSDoc. Verfolge den Declaration Emitter und die Verarbeitung von Eigenschaften des mapped type, und füge Tests hinzu, die zeigen, dass generierte Typ-Literale das JSDoc beibehalten, und überprüfe die erwarteten Deklarationen.
