+# MAINTENANCE MODE
+
+ember-cli-typescript will no longer be updated unless necessary  - ec-ts is no longer needed and all available features are configurable in userland.
+
+See the official TypeScript docs on the ember guides website here: https://guides.emberjs.com/release/typescript/ 
+This section of the docs has details for getting started with TypeScript, beyond what is laid out here.
+
+With every release, we output the `--typescript` output of new ember apps to this StackBlitz: https://stackblitz.com/github/ember-cli/editor-output/tree/stackblitz-app-output-typescript
+
+## How to use TypeScript without `ember-cli-typescript`?
+
+Apps and v1 addons need to configure Babel to compile TypeScript files via the `ember-cli-babel` config, as described in the [ember-cli-babel](https://github.com/emberjs/ember-cli-babel#enabling-typescript-transpilation).
+
+Additionally, you will need the `tsconfig.json` generated by the Ember TypeScript blueprint (see below for details), and then can run [`glint`](https://typed-ember.gitbook.io/glint) or `tsc` directly on the CLI. (Again, see the official docs for details!)
+
+### Apps
+
+```js
+'ember-cli-babel': {
+  enableTypeScriptTransform: true,
+},
+```
+
+### v1 addons
+
+Configure this in the addon's `index.js` in the root of the project:
+
+```js
+module.exports = {
+  name: require('package').name,
+  options: {
+    'ember-cli-babel': {
+      enableTypeScriptTransform: true
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### v2 addons
+
+The [V2 Addon Blueprint](https://github.com/embroider-build/addon-blueprint) does not use nor need ember-cli-typescript, nor any of its features.
+
+## What tsconfig.json should be used?
+
+The official blueprints for apps and v1 addons (as of 2023-12-06) specifies:
+
+<details><summary>for apps</summary>
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "extends": "@tsconfig/ember/tsconfig.json",
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    // The combination of `baseUrl` with `paths` allows Ember's classic package
+    // layout, which is not resolvable with the Node resolution algorithm, to
+    // work with TypeScript.
+    "baseUrl": ".",
+    "paths": {
+      "<%= name %>/tests/*": ["tests/*"],
+      "<%= name %>/*": ["app/*"],
+      "*": ["types/*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+
+
+</details>
+
+<details><summary>For v1 addons</summary>
+  
+```jsonc
+{
+  "extends": "@tsconfig/ember/tsconfig.json",
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    // The combination of `baseUrl` with `paths` allows Ember's classic package
+    // layout, which is not resolvable with the Node resolution algorithm, to
+    // work with TypeScript.
+    "baseUrl": ".",
+    "paths": {
+      "dummy/tests/*": ["tests/*"],
+      "dummy/*": ["tests/dummy/app/*", "app/*"],
+      "<%= addonName %>": ["addon"],
+      "<%= addonName %>/*": ["addon/*"],
+      "<%= addonName %>/test-support": ["addon-test-support"],
+      "<%= addonName %>/test-support/*": ["addon-test-support/*"],
+      "*": ["types/*"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+
+<details><summary>if you're not using ember-data</summary>
+
+You can use ember's built in types, so you only need the following:
+
+```
+"@types/qunit": "^2.19.7",
+"@types/rsvp": "^4.0.6",
+```
+
+Note that ember-data will eventually ship their own types, and allow _everyone_ to remove all the DT types.
