+## `getTypeScriptThemePath()`
+
+Similar to `getThemePath()`, it should return the path to the directory where the source code of TypeScript theme components can be found. Theme components under this path will **not** be resolved by Webpack. Therefore, it is not a replacement of `getThemePath()`. Instead, this path is purely for swizzling TypeScript theme components.
+
+If you want to support TypeScript component swizzling for your theme, you can make the path returned by `getTypeScriptThemePath()` be your source directory, and make path returned by `getThemePath()` be the compiled JavaScript output.
+
+Example:
+
+```js {6-13} title="my-theme/src/index.js"
+const path = require('path');
+
+module.exports = function (context, options) {
+  return {
+    name: 'name-of-my-theme',
+    getThemePath() {
+      // Where compiled JavaScript output lives
+      return path.join(__dirname, '..', 'lib', 'theme');
+    },
+    getTypeScriptThemePath() {
+      // Where TypeScript source code lives
+      return path.resolve(__dirname, './theme');
+    },
+  };
+};
+```
+
 ## `getClientModules()`
 
 Returns an array of paths to the modules that are to be imported in the client bundle. These modules are imported globally before React even renders the initial UI.

+## Setup
+
+Docusaurus supports writing and using TypeScript theme components. To start using TypeScript, add `@docusaurus/module-type-aliases` to your project:
+
+```bash
+npm install --save-dev typescript @docusaurus/module-type-aliases
+```
+
+Then add `tsconfig.json` to your project root with following content:
+
+```json title="tsconfig.json"
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "allowJs": true,
+    "esModuleInterop": true,
+    "jsx": "react",
+    "lib": ["DOM"],
+    "noEmit": true,
+    "noImplicitAny": false
+  },
+  "include": ["src/"]
+}
+```
+
+Docusaurus doesn't use this `tsconfig.json` to compile your TypeScript. It is added just for a nicer Editor experience, although you can choose to run `tsc --noEmit` to type check your code for yourself.
+
+Then add `types.d.ts` in your `src` folder with the following content:
+
+```ts title="src/types.d.ts"
+/// <reference types="@docusaurus/module-type-aliases" />
+```
+
+This file makes TypeScript recognize various Docusaurus specific webpack aliases like `@theme`, `@docusaurus`, `@generated`.
+
+Now you can start writing TypeScript theme components.
+
+## Swizzling TypeScript theme components
+
+For themes that supports TypeScript theme components, you can add the `--typescript` flag to the end of swizzling command to get TypeScript source code. For example, the following command will generate `index.tsx` and `styles.module.css` into `src/theme/Footer`.
+
+```bash npm2yarn
+npm run swizzle @docusaurus/theme-classic Footer --typescript
+```
+
+At this moment, the only official Docusaurus theme that supports TypeScript theme components is `@docusaurus/theme-classic`. If you are a Docusaurus theme package author who wants to add TypeScript support, see the [Lifecycle APIs docs](./lifecycle-apis#gettypescriptthemepath).
