@monodon/typescript-nx-imports-plugin v0.3.0

@monodon/typescript-nx-imports-plugin

Adds support for TypeScript to include external files for TypeScript projects on demand. This allows for cross library imports within Nx workspaces.

Usage

Within the tsconfig.base.json file, add the following plugin:

"plugins": [
      {
        "name": "@monodon/typescript-nx-imports-plugin",
        "externalFiles": [
          {
            "mainFile": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/typescript-nx-imports-plugin/src/index.ts",
            "directory": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/typescript-nx-imports-plugin"
          },
          {
            "mainFile": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/test-lib/src/index.ts",
            "directory": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/test-lib"
          },
          {
            "mainFile": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/rust/src/index.ts",
            "directory": "/Users/jon/Dev/monodon/packages/rust"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],

Note: mainFile and directory should be the absolute paths.

This plugin was also made to work well with Nx Console. Using it outside of this extension probably won't work :frown:

Local development

Build the @monodon/typescript-nx-imports-plugin with yarn nx build typescript-nx-imports-plugin --watch. Navigate to the dist/packages/typescript-nx-imports-plugin directory and run npm link. Navigate back to the root of this project and run npm link @monodon/typescript-nx-imports-plugin.

This allows TypeScript to find the package within the node_modules directory.
