|
||
|
|
||
|
## ⚙️ API
|
||
|
|
||
|
### getTsconfig(searchPath?, configName?)
|
||
|
Searches for a `tsconfig.json` file and parses it. Returns `null` if a config file cannot be found, or an object containing the path and parsed TSConfig object if found.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
type TsconfigResult = {
|
||
|
/**
|
||
|
* The path to the tsconfig.json file
|
||
|
*/
|
||
|
path: string
|
||
|
|
||
|
/**
|
||
|
* The resolved tsconfig.json file
|
||
|
*/
|
||
|
config: TsConfigJsonResolved
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### searchPath
|
||
|
Type: `string`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `process.cwd()`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Accepts a path to a file or directory to search up for a `tsconfig.json` file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### configName
|
||
|
Type: `string`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default: `tsconfig.json`
|
||
|
|
||
|
The file name of the TypeScript config file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
import { getTsconfig } from 'get-tsconfig'
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Searches for tsconfig.json starting in the current directory
|
||
|
console.log(getTsconfig())
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Find tsconfig.json from a TypeScript file path
|
||
|
console.log(getTsconfig('./path/to/index.ts'))
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Find tsconfig.json from a directory file path
|
||
|
console.log(getTsconfig('./path/to/directory'))
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Explicitly pass in tsconfig.json path
|
||
|
console.log(getTsconfig('./path/to/tsconfig.json'))
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Search for jsconfig.json - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig
|
||
|
console.log(getTsconfig('.', 'jsconfig.json'))
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
|
||
|
### parseTsconfig(tsconfigPath)
|
||
|
The `tsconfig.json` parser used internally by `getTsconfig`. Returns the parsed tsconfig as `TsConfigJsonResolved`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### tsconfigPath
|
||
|
Type: `string`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Required path to the tsconfig file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
import { parseTsconfig } from 'get-tsconfig'
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Must pass in a path to an existing tsconfig.json file
|
||
|
console.log(parseTsconfig('./path/to/tsconfig.custom.json'))
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
||
|
### createFileMatcher(tsconfig: TsconfigResult, caseSensitivePaths?: boolean)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given a `tsconfig.json` file, it returns a file-matcher function that determines whether it should apply to a file path.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
type FileMatcher = (filePath: string) => TsconfigResult['config'] | undefined
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### tsconfig
|
||
|
Type: `TsconfigResult`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pass in the return value from `getTsconfig`, or a `TsconfigResult` object.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### caseSensitivePaths
|
||
|
Type: `boolean`
|
||
|
|
||
|
By default, it uses [`is-fs-case-sensitive`](https://github.com/privatenumber/is-fs-case-sensitive) to detect whether the file-system is case-sensitive.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pass in `true` to make it case-sensitive.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, if it's called with a `tsconfig.json` file that has `include`/`exclude`/`files` defined, the file-matcher will return the config for files that match `include`/`files`, and return `undefined` for files that don't match or match `exclude`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
const tsconfig = getTsconfig()
|
||
|
const fileMatcher = tsconfig && createFileMatcher(tsconfig)
|
||
|
|
||
|
/*
|
||
|
* Returns tsconfig.json if it matches the file,
|
||
|
* undefined if not
|
||
|
*/
|
||
|
const configForFile = fileMatcher?.('/path/to/file.ts')
|
||
|
const distCode = compileTypescript({
|
||
|
code: sourceCode,
|
||
|
tsconfig: configForFile
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
---
|
||
|
|
||
|
### createPathsMatcher(tsconfig: TsconfigResult)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given a tsconfig with [`compilerOptions.paths`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#paths) defined, it returns a matcher function.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The matcher function accepts an [import specifier (the path to resolve)](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#terminology), checks it against `compilerOptions.paths`, and returns an array of possible paths to check:
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
function pathsMatcher(specifier: string): string[]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This function only returns possible paths and doesn't actually do any resolution. This helps increase compatibility wtih file/build systems which usually have their own resolvers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
#### Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
import { getTsconfig, createPathsMatcher } from 'get-tsconfig'
|
||
|
|
||
|
const tsconfig = getTsconfig()
|
||
|
const pathsMatcher = createPathsMatcher(tsconfig)
|
||
|
|
||
|
function exampleResolver(request: string) {
|
||
|
if (pathsMatcher) {
|
||
|
const tryPaths = pathsMatcher(request)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Check if paths in `tryPaths` exist
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```

## FAQ
|
||
|
|
||
|
### How can I use TypeScript to parse `tsconfig.json`?
|
||
|
This package is a re-implementation of TypeScript's `tsconfig.json` parser.
|
||
|
|
||
|
However, if you already have TypeScript as a dependency, you can simply use it's API:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```ts
|
||
|
import {
|
||
|
sys as tsSys,
|
||
|
findConfigFile,
|
||
|
readConfigFile,
|
||
|
parseJsonConfigFileContent
|
||
|
} from 'typescript'
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Find tsconfig.json file
|
||
|
const tsconfigPath = findConfigFile(process.cwd(), tsSys.fileExists, 'tsconfig.json')
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Read tsconfig.json file
|
||
|
const tsconfigFile = readConfigFile(tsconfigPath, tsSys.readFile)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Resolve extends
|
||
|
const parsedTsconfig = parseJsonConfigFileContent(
|
||
|
tsconfigFile.config,
|
||
|
tsSys,
|
||
|
path.dirname(tsconfigPath)
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
```
