Low-level: Entity Command Buffers

Using an EntityCommandBuffer object, you can create a list of changes (commands), and commit them to a World later. Command buffers allow you to create entities, destroy them, and add / modify / remove components on them.

You can store a list of commands in an EntityCommandBuffer object, and commit it when needed. For example, you can use command buffers to queue changes during iteration, and effectively defer structural changes until the iteration is over.

tsconfig.json

Tiny will generate and maintain a tsconfig.json file at the root of your Unity project folder (not the Tiny project folder). You can ignore this file from source control, as it is regularly updated by the Editor - for example when you switch between projects, modify module dependencies, etc.

Should you need to modify this file - for example to control compiler options - you can add a tsconfig.override.json file at the root of your project Scripts folder. What you put in this file gets merged in the final tsconfig.json file when updated.

Here's an example you can use to disallow implicit any type references in your scripts:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "noImplicitAny": true
    }
}

See the tsconfig.json page of the TypeScript handbook for more options.
