Sadly, ts-node doesn't work with the newer typescript anymore. As per https://github.com/avajs/ava/blob/main/docs/recipes/typescript.md , this patch changes
from the second to the first method: build the tests first, then run them with ava.
This requires a few small changes in the tests, as import.meta.url now returns the transpiled .mjs file in the build dir, instead of the source dir, as expected by the test.
typedoc uses typescript under the hood. An import from "rust-module.cjs" won't look for .d.ts but .d.cts as per https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules/reference.html#file-extension-substitution .
This way the existing warning from the TS compiler that rust-module.cjs was imported as any goes away and actual type checking is being done. The rest of this commit fixes those type errors, including missing type casts to make ts-node's transpiler not thrown an exception.
- Instead of building index.js with esbuild and generating types with
tsc, use tsc to build index.js and index.d.ts.
- Use ts-node instead of swc for typescript based tests, as that
works with es modules.
- Remove "syntax_check" target from package.json as that's now
implied with "compile".
- Sadly this requires one "as any" cast as tsc somehow fails to
determine the right type info for node-fetch.
Unfortunately index.js can't be an ES module without breaking
compatiblity. It would imply that the Node.js port can't be used with
require() anymore. So even thought that would simplify things further,
it's not part of this PR.
