The Purpose of this Output Target

By default, integrated development environments (IDEs) like JetBrains' WebStorm are not aware of a project's custom elements, resulting in a poorer development experience.

The webTypesOutputTarget output target tells Stencil to generate a JSON file that enables auto-completion, hover tooltips, etc., for a project's custom elements in HTML and Vue files.
