I recently discovered in the Bun 1.0 announcement that Bun has a macro system that allows you to pre-calculate values during the build.
At the moment, I am a bit skeptical about whether this is good or not for my needs, but while trying out this feature, I encountered a small problem.
As stated here https://bun.sh/docs/bundler/macros, macros rely on with { type: 'macro' }; during the import for the import to be a macro. This specific syntax is part of the TC39 Stage 3 proposal.
So my issue is not that it's not 100% official in TypeScript, but rather that TSServer complains because it doesn't recognize this syntax.
I see no mention anywhere that the TypeScript server would be aware of this syntax, so I would like to know if I need to configure something or unfortunately there is no way to tell the TypeScript server that it's normal for the import to be strange?

Yeah it'll take some time before this syntax is supported by all tools. Stage 3 is usually when support gets added but people might be a little more hesitant this time because the ealier incarnation of import attributes was demoted from Stage 3 to Stage 2: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/53656
you'll have to use // @ts-ignore for the moment

Ok thank you that answers my question well.
I don't personally plan to use macros a lot like you can do in rust for example, but for things like reading a file during build (and not in dev).
It will help a lot ^^
