isolatedModules doesn't respect enabled preserveConstEnum option what the project might be build with

Comece rastreando o diagnóstico de isolatedModules para const enums importados e como preserveConstEnums é representado entre a compilação e as fronteiras dos pacotes. Compare o caminho da API do compilador por meio de transpileModule com a compilação normal e, em seguida, determine como um pacote poderia comunicar essa configuração; considera-se concluído quando o compilador evita TS2748 somente quando essas informações estão disponíveis de forma confiável, com cobertura para a configuração proposta.

Suggestion

The compiler should respect/understand that the package/module was compiled with enabled preserveConstEnums compiler option.

Use Cases

Let's say we have a project written in TypeScript, which uses const enums.

The project uses them because the main const enum's advantage is inlining values instead of runtime accessing to the value.

In other hand the maintainers understand that const enums compiles in nothing in JS code, and that means that consumers can't use a const enums in their JS code (in some cases in TS code either, see above). Thus, they decided to enable preserveConstEnums compiler option to leave all const enums in JS code and allow consumers use them as well.

Up to this moment everything is good. But the next who appears on the stage is isolatedModules (say hello to create-react-app, webpack's transpile-only mode, transpileModule compiler's API and so on). This compiler option is used to detect that imported module could be transpiler without compilation into JS code and everything will work well. One of checks for this option is that you don't import const enums (error TS2748: Cannot access ambient const enums when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided).

To summarize, if the project/package is compiled with enabled preserveConstEnums, in isolatedModules mode the compiler shouldn't fail with error about unavailability of using const enums, because that's not actually true.

Examples

Quite possible we need to provide that information to the compiler somehow (by providing tsconfig.export.json or in package.json for instance), but I don't even know how it would be done.

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• 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, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
