 1. Make sure the directory the types are generated into are part of your project's files. You will either have to add that folder to your `rootDirs` in your _tsconfig.json_ or make sure the types are generated into a directory that is already part of your `rootDir`.

 ## Integrate Into Your CI
-As the generated types are build artifacts, we recommend to exclude them from your software versioning process. Still, as using `cds-typer` changes how you include your model in your service implementation, you need to include the emitted files when releasing your project or running tests in your continuous integration pipeline.
+As the generated types are build artifacts, we recommend to exclude them from your software versioning process. Still, as using `cds-typer` changes how you include your model in your service implementation, you need to include the emitted files when running tests in your continuous integration pipeline.
 You should therefore trigger `cds-typer` as part of your build process. One easy way to do so is to add a variation of the following command to your build script:
 
 ```sh
 npx @cap-js/cds-typer "*" --outputDirectory @cds-models
 ```
 Make sure to add the quotes around the asterisk so your shell environment does not expand the pattern.
 
-## Integrate Into Your Multitarget Application
-Similar to the integration in your CI, you need to add `cds-typer` to the build process of your MTA file as well.
+## Integrate Into Your Build Process
+Having `cds-typer` present as dependency provides a build task "`typescript`". If your project also depends on `typescript,` this build tasks is automatically included when you run `cds build`.
+This build task will make some basic assumptions about the layout of your project. For example, it expects all source files to be contained within the root directory. If you find that the standard behavior does not match your project setup, you can customize this build step by providing a `tsconfig.cdsbuild.json` in the root directory of your project. We recommend the following basic setup for such a file:
 
 ::: code-group
-```yaml [mta.yaml]
-build-parameters:
-  before-all:
-  - builder: custom
-    commands:
-    - npx cds build --production
-    - npx @cap-js/cds-typer "*" --outputDirectory gen/srv/@cds-models
+```json [tsconfig.cdsbuild.json]
+{
+  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "outDir": "./gen/srv",
+  },
+  "exclude": ["app", "gen"]
+}
 ```
 :::
 
-This integration into a custom build ensures that the types are generated into the `gen/srv` folder, so that they are present at runtime.

 ## About The Facet {#typer-facet}
 Type generation can be added to your project as [facet](../tools/cds-cli#cds-add) via `cds add typer`.
