💡 Introduction
This esbuild plugin integrates TypeScript, generating .d.ts files and performing type checks based on the user's tsconfig.json. It uses the TypeScript compiler API to ensure strict type checks that esbuild alone can't provide.
During the build, TypeScript is compiled to JavaScript while .d.ts files are created simultaneously. The plugin runs tsc in a subprocess to handle type checking independently from esbuild’s fast bundling. This ensures type safety without sacrificing performance. It respects the user's configuration, ensuring compatibility with various project setups.
🔧 Usage

This function needs to be called inside the esbuild configuration in order to use this plugin. It will provide the plugin inside the build process of esbuild.
esbuild.build({
// some configuration...

]
})

// configure here
});
