Type declarations are not emitted about civet HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for the detailed analysis! This was very clear. Should be implemented in v0.6.61, along with fixed watch mode in esbuild and fixes for Windows.

Regarding ESBuild. It looks like the problem was in the esbuild options, since the emitFile method for ESBuild rely only on the outdir option, but not on outfile (see last if here). If we change options in esbuild.js to this

const options = {
  entryPoints: ['src/main.civet'],
  bundle: true,
  outdir: 'dist',
  plugins: [civetEsbuildPlugin({
    ts: 'esbuild',
    emitDeclaration: true
  })],
}

then the type declarations will be written to files. It was very unobvious.

It is logical that if only outfile is specified then it is not clear where to write additional files. It's a shame this happens silently. It may be possible to add some kind of check for this in the plugin with a warning that when the outfile option is specified instead of outdir it is impossible to generate type declarations.

Interestingly, in the case of ESBuild the current version with asynchronous callback works but for Rollup it doesn’t. It works with a synchronous callback in both cases.
