TypeScript Configuration Helper

Build a utility that helps developers set up TypeScript projects by generating appropriate tsconfig.json files with helpful documentation comments and metadata.

Requirements

Create a TypeScript module that generates well-documented TypeScript configuration files for different target environments.

Your solution should:

1. Generate a tsconfig.json file that extends an appropriate base configuration for a given environment (e.g., Node.js version)
2. Include inline comments that reference official documentation URLs
3. Add custom metadata fields to help developers understand the configuration
4. Support multiple environments: Node.js LTS, modern Node versions, and strict typing
5. Validate that the generated configuration includes proper schema references for IDE support

Test Cases

• When generating config for "node-lts", it extends the correct base package and includes the schema field @test
• When generating config for "strictest", it extends the strictest base and adds a comment about strict type checking @test
• When generating config with documentation enabled, it includes comments with official TypeScript documentation URLs @test
• When generating config for an unknown environment, it returns an error @test

Implementation

@generates

API

/**
 * Configuration options for generating a tsconfig
 */
export interface GenerateOptions {
  environment: 'node-lts' | 'node22' | 'strictest' | 'recommended';
  includeDocs?: boolean;
  addMetadata?: boolean;
}

/**
 * Generated TypeScript configuration result
 */
export interface GeneratedConfig {
  config: object;
  comments?: string[];
  metadata?: {
    display: string;
    docs?: string[];
  };
}

/**
 * Generates a TypeScript configuration for the specified environment
 * @param options - Configuration generation options
 * @returns Generated configuration with optional documentation
 */
export function generateTsConfig(options: GenerateOptions): GeneratedConfig;

/**
 * Validates that a configuration properly extends a base config
 * @param config - The configuration to validate
 * @returns True if valid, false otherwise
 */
export function validateConfig(config: object): boolean;
