This utility modifies .d.ts files generated using TS 2.1. It removes any new syntax that is incompatible with TS 1.8.
This allows a library to be develped using TS 2.1, but consumed by an app that uses TS 1.8.
npm i --save-dev dts-downlevel
Command line use:
dts-downlevel [paths]
If [paths] is omitted, all .d.ts files in the current directory and below are modified.
dts-downlevel 'dist/**/*.d.ts' 'build/**/*.d.ts'
