Cannot find module '../conf/config.json5' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

I have 2 questions other than the issue:

1. Will I get intelisense for contents inside .json5, like regular json
2. Does it even work like it works with require()? Do I have to use import() instead of regular import ?

You will need the package to do so: json5.

There are one of two ways we can use this:

One: (target module system is CommonJS) require it

Following the README, we register json5:

import "json5/lib/register";

Then you can use require to import it:

const config = require("../config/config.json5");

Two: Reading the file and then using json5 to parse it:

import json5 from "json5";
import { readFile } from "fs/promises";

(async () => {
    const text = await fs.readFile("./path/to/config.json5"); // path to config.json5 from entry point

    const config = json5.parse(text);
})();

You can also use the provided CLI to convert json5 files to regular json that you can use.

You need to create an extra file with .d.ts extension to support intellisense.
