allowJs and checkJs config

[jrobinson01]

In reading other issues, it doesn't look like checking .js files is supported out of the box, nor by adding the allowJs and checkJs compiler options to tsconfig.json. It DOES seem however, that adding a comment to the top of your .js files // @ts-check gets it working, except that it complains about that comment. this seems to be coming from the "ide-typescript" plugin and not "atom-typescript".

I see that support for allowJs and checkJs is up for grabs. I'd be interested in tackling it but am not familiar with this project at all. Would anyone be willing to point me at a starting point?

Right. I missed #315 when referencing issues in that PR (the backlog is a horrifying place, so I tend to avoid staring there too much)

V12.7.0 is released which includes experimental support for JS. It's a bit hacky at the moment, but it should work for the most part. See: https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/blob/master/docs/faq.md#i-want-to-use-atom-typescript-with-javascript-too
