We should probably add ts to requireExtension defaults.

documentation/src/input/dependency.js

Line 64 in 4ea3a95

.concat(['.mjs', '.js', '.json', '.es6', '.jsx']),

Try running with --require-extension=ts?

[kripod]

@tmcw Thank you for the quick tip! Unfortunately, it still fails...

[kripod]

Actually, yarn documentation build src/*.ts --format md --parse-extension=ts seems to be working, although it's a bit hacky.

The issue seems to be something with --document-exported.

[tmcw]

Whoops, try --require-extension=.ts? Forgot that there's a . necessary.

[kripod]

@tmcw I already tried that, doesn't seem to work either.

[trusktr]

No luck here either. Made a new issue: #1272

--require-extension .ts and --parse-extension ts do not help to import referenced ts files

[JaccoGoris]

Hi, is there any new information on this? I am having the same problem, when I add --document-exported it fails on imports without the .ts extension. unfortunately wen I do that, typescript starts complaining (and possible the other devs in my company hehe). So it seems I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here.

I've submitted #1484 to fix this.
