Does swc have the equivalent to tsconfig "noEmitOnError" : true ? How can we prevent compiling with errors?

I think you mean type error (correct if me wrong, it's a guess based on the chat in discord) and as swc does not perform type checking, it's not possible.

If I understand correctly swc uses tsc for type-checking, right?

No, swc does not offer type checking. You should use typescript compiler separately to run type checks.

Oh... okay... I don't know why but somehow I got the idea that swc is using tsc on its own for type=checking like esbuild does...
I guess I was wrong...
So just to sum it up, in case someone's reading it and needs a practical bottom line:
we could write an npm script that does something like this:

tsc --noEmit && swc src -d dist

Thanks!

I don't think esbuild will check types

[Smrtnyk]

esbuild definitely doesn't check types

[YarivGilad]

true. much like swc, esbuild doesn't have type checking and you need to run tsc --noEmit before running it on production builds

Thank you! this was an eye-opener :)
