Is there a way to generate d.ts files during dev?

[theogravity]

I have my tsconfig.node.json with the following definition:

{
  "extends": "@electron-toolkit/tsconfig/tsconfig.node.json",
  "include": ["electron.vite.config.*", "src/**/*"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "composite": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "declarationDir": "src/types",
    "types": ["electron-vite/node"],
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  },
}

When I run electron-vite dev --watch, I was hoping that the d.ts files would be generated on reload, but this doesn't happen.

The reason why I want to do this is so I can share the types directly with src/renderer in some cases without referencing src/main directly. I like to keep my type and interface definitions with the code it's tied to, but those files cannot be imported into the renderer for technical reasons since they contain non-type exports.

You can use tsc.

I was wondering if it could be executed as part of the watch so the d.ts file would re-generate on file changes.

Currently there is no hook to do this.
