Problem

Fix

  • packages/bun-types/ts7.1/import-attributes.d.ts declares "*" with { type } modules for text, file, md, markdown, toml, yaml, jsonc, json5, xml, sqlite (also with embed: "true") and html, with the shapes extensions.d.ts gives the same loaders.
  • TypeScript 6.0 and 7.0 report syntax errors on this syntax even with skipLibCheck. So package.json#typesVersions sends >=7.1 to ts7.1/index.d.ts, which references ../index.d.ts plus the new file. Every other version loads index.d.ts as before. Verified with 6.0.2, 7.0.2 and a tsc built from the TS merge commit.
  • type: "json" and type: "macro" have no declaration on purpose. A matching declaration beats the real file, so ./package.json with { type: "json" } would become any.
  • Verified: the new "TypeScript 7.1" case in test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts type-checks the whole fixture plus fixture/ts7.1/import-attributes.ts through ts7.1/index.d.ts with typescript@>=7.1.0-0. The other cases pass unchanged.

Background

  • A pattern ambient module, declare module "*.txt" { ... }, types every import whose specifier matches. extensions.d.ts uses them for .txt, .toml, .html and so on.
  • typesVersions picks a different entry file per TypeScript version. TypeScript compares the range with its major.minor, so >=7.1 covers the 7.1 nightlies and the release.
  • TypeScript 7.1 matches an import to a module when the import's attributes are assignable to the module's attribute type. The most specific match wins.

Status

  • typescript@7.1.0-dev.20260901.1 (published 2026-09-01 08:38 UTC) is the first nightly with the feature. The "TypeScript 7.1" case passes with it; the earlier red runs used the 20260831 nightly.
Notes

Runtime shapes, probed with bun 1.4.1 (one file per attribute to avoid the module cache of #19834):

  • text: string default export, no named exports.
  • file, base64, dataurl: the absolute path as a string at runtime (the bundler turns base64/dataurl into strings too).
  • md, markdown: rendered HTML string.
  • toml, yaml, json, jsonc, json5: the parsed object, default plus named exports for the top-level keys.
  • xml: the compact Bun.XML.Document shape.
  • sqlite: a bun:sqlite Database.
  • html: an HTMLBundle.
  • css: an empty object. Not declared, browsers give type: "css" another meaning.
  • wasm: depends on the module. Not declared.

Verification of the gate (fake package with the same layout): TS 6.0.2 and 7.0.2 load index.d.ts and report nothing. typescript@7.1.0-dev.20260831.1 (the nightly from before the merge) loads ts7.1/index.d.ts and reports TS1005, which proves the redirect. A tsc built from microsoft/TypeScript@253c5e2 (Go 1.26 built from source, because the toolchain proxy is blocked here) type-checks the new fixture with skipLibCheck: false and exits 0. It also exits 0 with module: esnext, with lib.dom, and with types: ["bun-types"]. Without the new declarations the same fixture reports 11 errors. A probe with a type: "json" declaration added turned ../file.json with { type: "json" } into any, which is why json is left out.

{ type: "sqlite", embed: "true" } is assignable to { type: "sqlite" }, so the embed form resolves to the same Database declaration. The fixture covers it.

export = was kept over export default so the attribute module and the matching extensions.d.ts module give the same types, and so any keeps working for default imports of toml/yaml/jsonc/json5. Named imports from the any modules report TS2305 in TypeScript today, the same as *.toml.

Repository plumbing: prettier 3.6.2 cannot parse the new syntax, so .prettierignore skips packages/bun-types/ts7.1. packages/bun-types/tsconfig.json excludes the folder for the same reason (its include is **/*.ts, and the repository pins typescript 6.0.2), and test/tsconfig.json excludes integration/bun-types/fixture/ts7.1, which only types with the compiler the test installs. The bun.com API reference bakes packages/bun-types; if that build parses every .d.ts with a compiler older than 7.1, ts7.1/ has to be skipped there too.

Follow-up: #40836 adds a bytes loader. Once it lands, declare module "*" with { type: "bytes" } returning Uint8Array belongs in the same file.

TypeScript 7.1 resolves an import that carries import attributes against
`declare module "*" with { type: "text" }` pattern modules
(microsoft/TypeScript#63931). Add such declarations for Bun's loaders:
text, file, md, markdown, toml, yaml, jsonc, json5, xml, sqlite and html.

Older compilers reject the syntax even with skipLibCheck, so the new
declarations live in ts7.1/ and package.json#typesVersions sends only
TypeScript >= 7.1 to ts7.1/index.d.ts. Every other version keeps loading
index.d.ts unchanged.

Walkthrough

Changes

TypeScript 7.1 import attributes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Declarations and package routing
packages/bun-types/package.json, packages/bun-types/ts7.1/*, packages/bun-types/tsconfig.json, .prettierignore, test/tsconfig.json
TypeScript 7.1 consumers resolve to new import-attribute declarations. The declarations map resource attributes to corresponding types. Tooling excludes the TypeScript 7.1-specific syntax.
Compiler integration validation
test/integration/bun-types/bun-types.test.ts, test/integration/bun-types/fixture/ts7.1/import-attributes.ts
The integration test installs TypeScript 7.1 and checks import-attribute resolution across supported resource formats.
Import typing documentation
packages/bun-types/authoring.md, docs/bundler/loaders.mdx, docs/runtime/file-types.mdx
Documentation describes TypeScript 7.1 routing and attribute-based import typing.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 487c9

The PR adds TypeScript 7.1-specific import-attribute typings, but its test dependency range may select a later compiler and stop proving compatibility specifically with TypeScript 7.1. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to bound the tested compiler range.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The TypeScript 7.1 case now includes the top-level fixture files as well
as fixture/ts7.1, so the new entry point is exercised against everything
bun-types declares, not only the import attribute modules.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

test/tsconfig.json includes every .ts file under test/, and the repository
pins TypeScript 6.0.2, which resolves the fixture through the old entry
point and reports 11 errors. The fixture is only meaningful with the
compiler that bun-types.test.ts installs for it.
