Overview

This PR introduces a new “TypeScript Setup” section in Mocha’s documentation that provides a step-by-step guide for integrating Mocha with TypeScript.

The new content includes:

  • Example configurations for tsconfig.json, .mocharc.json, and test scripts
  • Sample TypeScript test files demonstrating setup and execution
  • A troubleshooting section covering common TypeScript-related issues (e.g., “Cannot find module”, missing type definitions, and ts-node configuration)

This documentation aims to make it easier for developers—especially newcomers—to quickly get Mocha running in TypeScript projects without encountering common configuration pitfalls.
