Mark typescript as peerDependency

[Q16solver]

Bug report

Hello! Recently, ts 5.5 was announced in beta with new feature https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-5-5-beta/#the-configdir-template-variable-for-configuration-files
This lets us share tsconfig across packages, and I wanted to use it for my monorepo, but dts-bundle-generator gives me error saying it cannot find the imports in my library code. I think it's because the dependency isn't correct? I'm not sure what the standard way is to solve it here, I can think of perhaps 2 ways:

• Have a "next" branch that ups the deps to the beta version as well and simply just publish it as an alpha/beta
• Have the typescript dep as a peerDep? and have userland install the required version? I'm not sure if that actually works, just a thought

For reference I used with typescript ver: "5.5.0-dev.20240518",
shared config: https://github.com/Esposter/Esposter/tree/shared-configuration/packages/configuration
usage: https://github.com/Esposter/Esposter/blob/shared-configuration/packages/shared/tsconfig.build.json

Hey @Q16solver,

but dts-bundle-generator gives me error saying it cannot find the imports in my library code

can you share what exactly does not work? I just tried the latest version of typescript simply adding ${configDir} in the config and it seems working fine (similar to the link you shared). If you have a minimal repro of your issue it would be much appreciated.

@timocov Yep sure! Here's the minimal repro https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-hlcarv-yvtyug?file=tsconfig.build.json,tsconfig.json,package.json,src%2Findex.ts
Please run pnpm types:gen for the issue.
It complains that it cannot find the imports when I have ${configDir}, but once I remove that from the tsconfig.json, it successfully outputs dist/index.d.ts as normal

Thanks @Q16solver!

Have the typescript dep as a peerDep? and have userland install the required version? I'm not sure if that actually works, just a thought

I checked other similar repos and it seems this is the way to go. But I think this would be a breaking change tho.

Would you like to create a PR?
