tsc: Type-check multiple JavaScript files, and output only the errors.
$ tsc --allowJs --checkJs --noEmit ${src-**-*-js}
try on your machine

This command is for running the TypeScript compiler (tsc) with specific flags and options.

  • --allowJs: This flag allows the compiler to include JavaScript files (.js) when compiling TypeScript. By default, only TypeScript files (.ts) are considered for compilation.
  • --checkJs: This flag enables a type checking process for JavaScript files. It allows the TypeScript compiler to analyze JavaScript code and provide type checking similar to what it does for TypeScript files.
  • --noEmit: This option tells the compiler not to emit any compiled output files. It prevents the compiler from generating JavaScript files as output during the compilation process.

${src-**-*-js}: This is a placeholder for a file or directory path that matches a specific pattern. It is likely used as a source file or source directory argument for the compiler. The exact meaning and usage of this specific pattern depend on the context in which this command is used.
