TSC to file checklist

When doing a big upgrade on a Typescript project, keeping track of your tsc output can be difficult. To get a list of files in a markdown checklist, you can dump your tsc output to a file, and run this script on that file, and it’ll give you a markdown list of the files you need to go through, one on one.

Notes:

  • This excludes any .spec files.
  • This is usable with vue-tsc or any other tsc extension
