vue-tsc --declaration --emitDeclarationOnly outputDir

[VividLemon]

For awhile I have been using https://github.com/qmhc/vite-plugin-dts , but I have had many problems with it. It wasn't until recently when I found that vue-tsc performs this same function. The only issue that I have with using vue-tsc for this is specifying the output path of the dts files. The default behavior for vite-plugin-dts is to move these files over to the dist folder. This is what I would prefer. However, vue-tsc puts all dts files in place and there doesn't seem to be a way to move these files around automatically. A feature such as https://github.com/qmhc/vite-plugin-dts#options outputDir would make it so I can use vue-tsc as the declaration build tool. Perhaps there exists a way to do this, the documentation is somewhat limited outside of some discussion threads... But I haven't found anything, nor does the code show any way to do this. The types for their outputDir are outputDir?: string | string[], I personally don't care much for the string[] support, and since this is all just command line stuff, it may be difficult to convey a string[] as a arg flag. So perhaps just string could be acceptable.
