TypeScript teams that turn on the
exactOptionalPropertyTypescompiler option previously couldn't consume a Fern-generated SDK without type errors, and some were hand-writing.d.tsfiles to work around it. The TypeScript SDK generator now has an opt-inexactOptionalPropertyTypesconfig option that emits every optional property asprop?: T | undefinedand enables the same compiler option in the generatedtsconfig, so the SDK typechecks cleanly under the stricter mode. This documents the option on the TypeScript configuration reference, including that it works with or without the serde layer.Implements docs for: feat(typescript): add exactOptionalPropertyTypes generator option (fern-api/fern#17697) — fern-api/fern#17697
