+### TypeScript Support
+
+If the `tsconfig.json`-file is present in the project root directory and the
+`typescript` is a dependency the `@babel/preset-typescript` will automatically
+get loaded when you use the default babel config that comes with `kcd-scripts`.
+If you customised your `.babelrc`-file you might need to manually add
+`@babel/preset-typescript` to the `presets`-section.
+
+`kcd-scripts` will automatically load any `.ts` and `.tsx` files, including the
+default entry point, so you don't have to worry about any rollup configuration.
+
 ## Inspiration
 
 This is inspired by `react-scripts`.
