 This follows the [WebAssembly/ES Module Integration proposal](https://github.com/WebAssembly/esm-integration). Because a WebAssembly module is instantiated asynchronously, a directly imported `.wasm` file behaves as an async module and requires top-level `await` support.
 
+::: tip TypeScript support
+
+Since the types of `.wasm` files are unknown, TypeScript will report errors like `Module '"*.wasm"' has no exported member 'add'`. To fix this, enable [`allowArbitraryExtensions`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#allowArbitraryExtensions) in your `tsconfig.json` and create a declaration file next to your `.wasm` file. With `allowArbitraryExtensions` enabled, TypeScript will look for a declaration file named `{filename}.d.wasm.ts` when resolving a `.wasm` import. For example, for `add.wasm`, create `add.d.wasm.ts`:
+
+```ts [add.d.wasm.ts]
+export function add(a: number, b: number): number
+```
+
+:::

 ### Manual Initialization
 
 When you need control over when and how the module is instantiated, import it with `?init`. The default export will be an initialization function that returns a Promise of the [`WebAssembly.Instance`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly/JavaScript_interface/Instance):
