Is it supported?
Not currently -- you cannot disable ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin.
Do note type checking happens in the background so it does not affect the reload/rebuild speed of your project.
If you're finding yourself constantly hitting typescript errors maybe try using strict: false in your tsconfig.json.
@Timer have the same request. For me ts checking plugin eats too much memory and CPU on every hot reload, and I still have editor typescript checker, so I don't need another one. An option to disable ForkTsCheckerWebpackPlugin on dev would be awesome
You can find a workaround in https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/7687#issuecomment-506440999
I also hope that an official option will be possible in future.
Please see https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/8331.
