TypeScript Configuration

Add a concise value statement that captures reader interest and previews content value. Focus on benefits while keeping it under two lines. Align with your blog categories.

## Project References

We use TypeScript project references to maintain type safety across packages:

```json

// packages/blocks/tsconfig.json

{

"compilerOptions": {

"composite": true

"references": [

{ "path": "../types" },

{ "path": "../primitives" }

]

}

```

This ensures that when you change a type in the types package, TypeScript immediately flags any components that need updating.

## Path Aliases

Clean imports using TypeScript path mapping:

```typescript

// Instead of: import { Button } from "../../../primitives/Button"

import { Button } from "@repo/primitives"

```

## Strict Mode

All packages use strict TypeScript settings for maximum safety:

- strict: true

- noUncheckedIndexedAccess: true

- noImplicitReturns: true
