TypeScript Ignore

I try really hard to avoid using these, but sometimes they are the best choice among a host of bad choices.

// @ts-ignore: Ignores the next line's errors.

// @ts-ignore
const x: number = "not a number"; // Error suppressed

// @ts-nocheck: Disables type checking for the entire file.

// @ts-nocheck

const x: number = "not a number"; // No error

const sum(x: number, y: number): string {
  return x + y; // No error
}

These comments do what they say on the box: dangerously suppress type errors. Use them very sparingly, or ideally, not at all.

Assignment

Management at Support.ai is sick of maintaining the global.d.ts file for the Window.supportAI type. They've decided it's better to just add @ts-ignore... who needs good developer experience anyway?

Delete the global.d.ts file.
Try to compile your code. It should error:

tsc

Add a @ts-ignore comment to the one line that's erroring. Don't ignore the entire file.
Try to compile your code again, it should "work".

Run and submit the CLI tests.
