Strapi and TypeScript: compiling when there are type errors

TypeScript can continue emitting JavaScript despite type errors when `noEmitOnError` is false, but it cannot emit usable output for syntax errors such as TS1005 because the source cannot be parsed; the Strapi example involving `import parse = require('pg-connection-string').parse` must therefore be corrected to a valid named import. For temporary, controlled exceptions, the text recommends using `skipLibCheck` for faulty dependency declarations, `@ts-expect-error` for known single-line issues, `@ts-nocheck` only for generated or legacy files, `allowJs` for incremental JavaScript-to-TypeScript migration, and selectively relaxed strictness settings when necessary. To keep local development unblocked while enforcing quality before deployment, it advises separating builds from type checking: allow emission during development, run `tsc --noEmit --watch` in a separate terminal, and require type checking in CI. Strapi projects should avoid placing `noEmit: true` in the root configuration because it prevents production build output, and developers should regenerate Strapi types after schema changes with `strapi ts:generate-types` before suppressing apparent type mismatches.
