Typescript does not include package.json file

Time:05-27

Whenever I run tsc it outputs me the files in JS format, which is working. Except for package.json. I need this also inside my output directory. Currently my tsconfig.json

{
  "exclude": ["node_modules"],

  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020" /* Set the JavaScript language version for emitted JavaScript and include compatible library declarations. */,
    "module": "commonjs" /* Specify what module code is generated. */,
    "rootDir": "./" /* Specify the root folder within your source files. */,
    "resolveJsonModule": true /* Enable importing .json files */,
    "outDir": "../src" /* Specify an output folder for all emitted files. */,
    "esModuleInterop": true /* Emit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables `allowSyntheticDefaultImports` for type compatibility. */,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true /* Ensure that casing is correct in imports. */,

    "strict": true /* Enable all strict type-checking options. */,
    "noImplicitAny": true /* Enable error reporting for expressions and declarations with an implied `any` type.. */,
    "strictNullChecks": true /* When type checking, take into account `null` and `undefined`. */,
    "strictFunctionTypes": true /* When assigning functions, check to ensure parameters and the return values are subtype-compatible. */,
    "strictBindCallApply": true /* Check that the arguments for `bind`, `call`, and `apply` methods match the original function. */,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": true /* Check for class properties that are declared but not set in the constructor. */,
    "noImplicitThis": true /* Enable error reporting when `this` is given the type `any`. */,
    "useUnknownInCatchVariables": true /* Type catch clause variables as 'unknown' instead of 'any'. */,
    "alwaysStrict": true /* Ensure 'use strict' is always emitted. */,
    "noUnusedLocals": true /* Enable error reporting when a local variables aren't read. */,
    "noUnusedParameters": true /* Raise an error when a function parameter isn't read */,
    "exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true /* Interpret optional property types as written, rather than adding 'undefined'. */,
    "noImplicitReturns": true /* Enable error reporting for codepaths that do not explicitly return in a function. */,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true /* Enable error reporting for fallthrough cases in switch statements. */,
    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true /* Include 'undefined' in index signature results */,
    "noImplicitOverride": true /* Ensure overriding members in derived classes are marked with an override modifier. */,
    "noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature": true /* Enforces using indexed accessors for keys declared using an indexed type */,
    "allowUnusedLabels": true /* Disable error reporting for unused labels. */,
    "allowUnreachableCode": true /* Disable error reporting for unreachable code. */,

    /* Completeness */
    "skipDefaultLibCheck": true /* Skip type checking .d.ts files that are included with TypeScript. */,
    "skipLibCheck": true /* Skip type checking all .d.ts files. */
  }
}

As you can see I set resolveJsonModule to true and it still does not include it.

I have tried to use include

"include": ["package.json"],

But then it ONLY outputs package.json inside my output directory and nothing else. So how do I make it work?

CodePudding user response:

You can get this to work by using include, but you also need to reference your TypeScript source files:

{
  "include": "package.json", "your-source-directory/**/*.ts"
}
