+## TypeScript type definition
+
+All TypeScript code in our source code is transpiled to plain JavaScript code, by a [Babel plugin](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@babel/plugin-transform-typescript). Applications can still refer to our TypeScript types, via `.d.ts` files we ship.
+
+The `.d.ts` files are generated by [regular TypeScript toolchain](https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript), via [`gulp-typescript`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulp-typescript). The build procedure can be found at [here](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-for-ibm-dotcom/blob/v1.15.0/packages/web-components/gulp-tasks/build.js#L474-L490).

+> 💡 The `.d.ts` for React wrappers are generated by our [custom Babel plugin](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-for-ibm-dotcom/blob/v1.15.0/packages/web-components/tools/babel-plugin-create-react-custom-element-type-def.js). An example of such `.d.ts` file can be found [here](https://unpkg.com/@carbon/ibmdotcom-web-components@1.0.0/es/components-react/card/card.d.ts). The build procedure can be found [here](https://github.com/carbon-design-system/carbon-for-ibm-dotcom/blob/v1.15.0/packages/web-components/gulp-tasks/build.js#L388-L397).

 ## Vendor directory
 
 `@carbon/ibmdotcom-services-store` is a private package that is not published to NPM. Putting it to `package.json` will break application because it won't be found.
