Add typescript files into webpack fileDependencies in transpileOnly mode?

[MQuy]

I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question. I will demonstrate with the example below

# demo.ts
export interface Demo {
  [key: string]: string
}
....

# index.ts
import { Demo } from './demo'

const demo: Demo = { "hello": "ts-loader" };

in my ts-loader config, if I don't enable transpileOnly, demo.ts file will be included in webpack fileDependencies (I assume it is from this part https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-loader/blob/master/src/index.ts#L302), but if I enable transpileOnly, demo.ts won't be include in my webpack fileDependencies

I wonder is there an way that I can enable transpileOnly and demo.ts is still in webpack fileDependencies?

I'm pretty sure the answer is "no". I think you've already noticed but there's essentially 2 modes of operation for ts-loader. transpileOnly or not. transpileOnly doesn't register file dependencies. I'm not sure if it can anyway because of the exposed API it is using. Do feel free to have a play and report back!

thanks, I actually played around with ts-loader but cannot find a way to make it work :(
