typescript compiller error

[wise shoal]

Basically, I don't want to transcribe the src folder into dist, and I also don't want to put maps and i18n in there.

[nocturne sand]

Is it not just "exclude": ["dist/**/*", "maps/**/*", "i18n/**/*"]? Missing the * on each?

[wise shoal]

sorry

i do not understand

{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"target": "ES2015",
"lib": ["DOM", "esnext"],
"module": "commonjs",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,
"moduleResolution": "node",
"noUnusedLocals": true,
"sourceMap": true,
"declaration": true,
"declarationDir": "dist",
"outDir": "dist",
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
"rootDir": "src"
},
}

how would you change tsconfig

[nocturne sand]

I'm confused by what you're trying to do

[wise shoal]

I want it to not put a "src" inside it in the "dist" folder and also not put "maps" and "i18n"

[nocturne sand]

What's your package.json "scripts" look like?

How do you expect src/utils/vars.ts to know where i18n jsons are if you don't have it in dist?

[nocturne sand]

https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#exclude

The best you could do is a dynamic import for your messages, with a string variable instead of a string literal:

export async function getMessages() {
    const enjson = "en.message.json";
    const esjson = "es.message.json";
    const ptjson = "pt.message.json";

    return {
        en: await import(enjson),
        es: await import(esjson),
        pt: await import(ptjson),
    }
}

And in tsconfig.json:

  "include": [
    "src/index.ts"
  ],

But IMHO you should be using a build system like https://vitejs.dev/ or at least a bundling framework like https://rollupjs.org/. These tools have already solved your problem

I don't know why you would have a src folder in your dist, unless that is left over from an old config, and just needs deleting

tsc does not delete old files

[nocturne sand]

Yea, basically tsc is not a bundler!

[candid valve]

Well I'm not sure that that is relevant

Your exclude configs do nothing, because those folders are outside of src

My guess is that you need to delete dist, move i18n and maps inside src, and rebuild

Unless you have some other plan to access maps and i18. Obviously if you are not using them, then they can just be ignored

Whether he wants to bundle or not is sperate to just having the correct files in dist, right?

[nocturne sand]

tsc outputs dist/i18n and dist/maps though

probably because "resolveJsonModule": true, so the json files are outputted

[candid valve]

You think he is importing from outside of src, and so it is duplicating his project folder in dist?

I would have thouht that importing from outside of src would give a TS error

But I don't see why the solution is anything but putting the files needed in src and doing a normal build

[nocturne sand]

Yea, not sure how dist/src ended up there, because that doesn't happen with the shared repo & tsconfig.

[crude hamlet]

If you don't want your output to be dist/src you can configure rootDir: "src", and TS will error wherever you're violating that.

[nocturne sand]

I think OP's concern is that the directories are essentially duped between src/ and dist

[candid valve]

he has it

which I why i think his dist is an old build from an old config

rimraf dist && tsc

[crude hamlet]

Not in the screenshot they shared.

[candid valve]

here

you're correct about the screenshot

but he has it in his paste

[crude hamlet]

Ah, yeah, I missed their follow-up comment. Yeah, would make sure to delete dist then and try again.
