@zthxxx/tsconfig NPM

Zthxxx's base tsconfig

Files

`tsconfig.json`

The basic tsconfig. Designed to be inherited by package root tsconfig.json, used for IDE type inference.

`build.esm.json` / `build.cjs.json`

Designed to be as symlink / copied beside package root tsconfig.json, use for build esm/cjs and .d.ts files.

`build.types.json`

Designed to be as symlink / copied beside package root tsconfig.json, use for build ONLY .d.ts files.

Usage

install

npm i -D @zthxxx/tsconfig

Example in package root tsconfig.json:

{
  "extends": "@zthxxx/tsconfig/tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDir": "src",
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "outDir": "dist/esm",

    // some external types
    "types": [
      "node",
    ],
  },
  "include": [
    "src",
  ],
  "references": [
    // relative path reference to other monorepo package
    // use for IDE `Go to Source Definition`
    { "path": "..." },
  ],
}

`composite` and `references`

Notice that I don't use composite:true for monorepo, even if use references with each other,

since composite will make tsc compile all of references packages at once and depend on their source code,

but in monorepo usually it's wrong,

I want compile packages independent and every package in compiling should use output .d.ts with others.

references without composite:true maybe cause IDE warn you some error,

like Referenced project '...' must have setting "composite": true.,

DON'T worry, it makes no influence to tsc or any other compiler or bundler.

references is useful in IDE for the function Go to Source Definition in monorepo,

like via Ctrl/Command + Click, will jump to source code file with correct line.

That also needs to set outDir path point to types field paths in package.json.

Otherwise without references, the Go to Source Definition only jump to node_modules/ or compiled output file .d.ts in such as dist/ or es/.
