ReScript has an interesting philosophy of not providing much in the way of effective build tools. Every ReScript file is compiled into `.bs.js` and `.gen.ts` files with the same name and same location, and then you can use these files in other `.js` files to create your program. To generate these files to build the package, you run `yarn build`.
`.gen.ts` files are created by the [`@genType`](https://rescript-lang.org/docs/gentype/latest/getting-started) decorator, which creates typescript typings for needed parts of the codebase so that they can be easily used in typescript. These .gen.ts files reference the .bs.js files generated by rescript.
### Errors regarding the `rationale` package
You may notice sometimes, that there are errors about the `rationale` package. If you ever get these errors, `yarn build` should fix this issue. These errors occur because `yarn build` also needs to create build files that are in `node_modules`. So if you replace `node_modules` you may need to rebuild to get those files back.
