What steps do I need to take for TypeScript packages?

I'm a bit confused as to where the boundary for this action is.

Considering a TypeScript project, what steps should I run so that this action releases a compiled version of it? Is adding a npm run build (where build takes care of the TS->JS compilation and outputs the compiled files to dist/) step between the Checkout and Semantic Release steps enough? How do I tell this action to use the contents of dist/ as the package's contents?

It is recommended that to use the @semantic-release/exec plugin to build your code.
And set the pkgroot attribute of @semantic-release/npm for setting the directory path publishing.

1. Add @semantic-release/exec plugin to extra_plugins in your release workflow file.

steps:
  ...
  - name: Semantic Release
    uses: cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v2
    with:
      extra_plugins: |
        @semantic-release/exec
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      NPM_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

2. Set semantic release configuration in your repository.

module.exports = {
  ...	
  "plugins": [
    ...
    ["@semantic-release/exec", {
      "prepareCmd": "your build code here"
    }],
    ["@semantic-release/npm", {
      "pkgRoot": "dist"
    }]
    ...	
  ]
}
