@benyap/tscpaths

This is a fork of joonhocho's tscpaths. Credit goes to joonhocho for the original code.

If you use Typescript's path mapping feature (by setting baseUrl and paths in tsconfig.json), you may have found that transpiling with tsc doesn't convert your aliases to proper relative paths. This causes problems as the transpiled code can't actually run with those path aliases - you'll get a "module not found" error.

Use this package after tsc transpilation to replace path aliases with relative paths so that you can develop using path aliases whilst still being able to ship working JavaScript code.

Comparison to tsconfig-paths

• Use during compile time - no runtime dependencies!

Usage

1. Install @benyap/tscpaths as a dev dependency using npm or yarn.

   npm install --save-dev @benyap/tscpaths
   # or
   yarn add -D @benyap/tscpaths
   

2. Add it as a part of your build script in package.json after the code has been transpiled.

   "scripts": {
     "build": "tsc && tscpaths -p tsconfig.json -s ./src -o ./out",
   }
   

Options

--project	-p	no	tsconfig.json	path to the project configuration file (tsconfig.json)
--ext		no	js	comma separated list of extensions to match and replace
