Document ts project references setup #78586

part of #46773
adds docs for the solution teams to migrate plugins to TS project references

docs/development/typescript.md

+2. Your plugin exports something inferring a type from a 3rd party library that doesn't export this type. To fix the problem, you have to declare the exported type manually.
+
+### Prerequisitions
+Since `tsc` doesn't support circular references, the migration order does matter. You can migrate your plugin only when all the plugin dependencies already have migrated. It creates the situation when low-level plugins (such as `data` or `kibana_react`) have to migrate first.


It would be useful to add a script showing a plugin dependency tree. I didn't manage to find an issue - I can create one. Should we prioritize it? Manual migration order tracking is not cool.

Could probably be solved by the same tool as #78162 ?

Yes, it would help to understand all the existing deps between plugins. But:

It's no clear when Create tool to identify and visualize circular imports between plugins #78162 is taken in work by the @elastic/kibana-operations

A simple script visualizing a plugin tree from the plugin discovery would do the trick as well. As a bonus, we could highlight all the projects already migrated to TS project refs.

The main problem is the plugin discovery is tightly coupled with the platform runtime. We might have to either extract it in or borrow @kbn/optimizer implementation

kibana/packages/kbn-optimizer/src/optimizer/optimizer_config.ts

Line 213 in 7c6a40e

const plugins = findKibanaPlatformPlugins(options.pluginScanDirs, options.pluginPaths);

+```
+If your plugin imports a file not listed in `include`, the build will fail with the next message `File ‘…’ is not listed within the file list of project …’. Projects must list all files or use an 'include' pattern.`
+- build you plugin `./node_modules/.bin/tsc -b src/plugins/my_plugin`. Fix errors if `tsc` cannot generate type declarations for your project.
+- make sure the `target/types` folder doesn’t contain files not belonging to your project. Otherwise, it means your plugin includes files from another project by mistake.


Is there an easy way to detect this?

We can write a script to make sure all files in outDir covered by patterns in includes. However, if code from another plugin is compiled, it means that this plugin has been listed in include. I'm leaning towards removing this note from the doc. WDYT?

If it's not expected to be a common situation, then let's either remove it or move it to a "troubleshooting" section.

I think these instructions could benefit from a fully worked out example since there's quite a lot of places to edit. Alternatively we could link to the PR that moved kibana_react (but it has some other changes that wouldn't be necessary) or maybe we can link to the PR of the first team that moved their plugin.

+- make sure all the plugins listed as dependencies in `kibana.json` file have migrated to TS project references.


nit: I think a numbered list makes more sense here since you will generally start at the top and work down

I had to revert it in 6efc968 to the unordered list. asciidoctor fails validation with

18:06:10 INFO:build_docs:asciidoctor: WARNING: developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc: line 35: list item index: expected 2, got 1 18:06:10 INFO:build_docs:asciidoctor: WARNING: developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc: line 59: list item index: expected 2, got 1 18:06:10 INFO:build_docs:asciidoctor: WARNING: developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc: line 60: list item index: expected 3, got 1 18:06:10 INFO:build_docs:asciidoctor: WARNING: developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc: line 61: list item index: expected 4, got 1 18:06:10 INFO:build_docs:asciidoctor: WARNING: developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc: line 62: list item index: expected 5, got 1

I tried 1., 2., etc. style as well, but the numeration started from 1 after source block. 😞

@rudolf added #79446 as an example
@stacey-gammon Should I merge the current file with https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/TYPESCRIPT.md ? What is a better place for the docs? docs/developer as per #41833 (comment) ?

Awesome!

stacey-gammon · 2020-10-05T13:00:07Z

@restrry, good question. Merging with https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/TYPESCRIPT.md looks like a good idea. I'd migrate them both to asciidoc, put inside docs/developer/best_practices, and link to from docs/developer/best_practices/index.asciidoc.

mshustov · 2020-10-05T14:28:33Z

@stacey-gammon converted newly added file. see docs/developer/best-practices/typescript.asciidoc
