tsconfig.json help

[errant schooner]

I tried npx tsconfig.json and it says The system cannot execute the specified program. because it doesn't know what to use to run it?

[icy mirage]

first of all, what are you even trying to do?

[errant schooner]

good question

[icy mirage]

if you want to create a tsconfig.json it's npx tsc --init, if you want to compile the project is npx tsc --project tsconfig.json

[errant schooner]

I'm trying to get a tsconfig.json file using ben's npm package

[icy mirage]

oh

it's script on npm you have to execute

i don't remember how you use it, give me a sec

you have to install the package and then execute it

which package manager are you using?

npm, yarn or pnpm?

[errant schooner]

yarn!

[icy mirage]

you wanna add the script globally or just for this project?

if it's just for the project

[errant schooner]

globallyy

[icy mirage]

ok

yarn global add tsconfig.json

run this and it will install the script

then you can execute it directly from the cli

yarn global add tsconfig.json
tsconfig.json

like this

[errant schooner]

just by saying 'tsconfig.json' after?

it thorws an error

[icy mirage]

which error

[errant schooner]

error Command "tsconfig.json" not found.

[icy mirage]

try with npx

if it's installed, npx will find it

[icy mirage]

you probably didn't setup your path variable

[errant schooner]

^ is after doing npx tsconfig.json

oh

ill set it up rn

[icy mirage]

that's weird

try installing in the project with

yarn add -D tsconfig.json

[errant schooner]

yeah I already have the path mb

[icy mirage]

the paths change since you are using nvm

you have a different path for each node installation

but nvm handles that for u

[errant schooner]

when I put which tsconfig.json in this project's terminal it shows the path that it always is tho

[errant schooner]

done

[icy mirage]

now run it with npx

[errant schooner]

same thing wth

[icy mirage]

wtf

idk what's happening

JS is just weird

are you doing a nodejs project?

if so I can send you the tsconfig

actually I can send you any of them, they are on his repo
