+Type stripping works with most versions of TypeScript
+but we recommend version 5.7 or newer with the following `tsconfig.json` settings:
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+     "target": "esnext",
+     "module": "nodenext",
+     "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
+     "rewriteRelativeImportExtensions": true,
+     "verbatimModuleSyntax": true
+  }
+}
+```
