yarn dev type checking

[starpit]

Howdy, thanks so much for the great work. We are trying to figure out how to enable type checking while in dev/watch mode. Carrying this over from our non-electron vite base, we added vite-plugin-checker to our electron.vite.config.js. But it does not seem to catch any typescript errors, neither in main nor render code.

you need to set tsconfigPath for checker

Thanks. I think the issue is that the starter kit we used split the tsconfig into a web and node version, and the main tsconfig uses references to point to those two separate configs. Apparently vite-plugin-checker doesn't work with a tsconfig-with-references. When I update the vite config to point to one of them, then the type checking kicks in. Hmm..

Update: buildMode: true is what we need. This tells vite-plugin-checker to run in tsc --build mode, which is what is needed to support composite tsconfigs.
