| |
| Use this to load modules whose location is specified in the `paths` section of `tsconfig.json`. Both loading at run-time and via API are supported. |
| |
| Typescript by default mimics the Node.js runtime resolution strategy of modules. But it also allows the use of [path mapping](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/module-resolution.html) which allows arbitrary module paths (that doesn't start with "/" or ".") to be specified and mapped to physical paths in the filesystem. The typescript compiler can resolve these paths from `tsconfig` so it will compile OK. But if you then try to execute the compiled files with node (or ts-node), it will only look in the `node_modules` folders all the way up to the root of the filesystem and thus will not find the modules specified by `paths` in `tsconfig`. |
| |
| If you require this package's `tsconfig-paths/register` module it will read the `paths` from `tsconfig.json` and convert node's module loading calls into to physical file paths that node can load. |
| |
| ## How to install |
| |
| ``` |
| yarn add --dev tsconfig-paths |
| ``` |
| |
| or |
| |
| ``` |
| npm install --save-dev tsconfig-paths |
| ``` |
| |
| ## How to use |
| |
| ### With node |
| |
| `node -r tsconfig-paths/register main.js` |
| |
| If `process.env.TS_NODE_BASEURL` is set it will override the value of `baseUrl` in tsconfig.json: |
| |
| `TS_NODE_BASEURL=./dist node -r tsconfig-paths/register main.js` |
| |
| ### With ts-node |
| |
| `ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register main.ts` |
| |
| If `process.env.TS_NODE_PROJECT` is set it will be used to resolved tsconfig.json |
| |
| ### With webpack |
| |
| For webpack please use the [tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin](https://github.com/dividab/tsconfig-paths-webpack-plugin). |
| |
| ### With mocha and ts-node |
| |
| As of Mocha >= 4.0.0 the `--compiler` was [deprecated](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/wiki/compilers-deprecation). Instead `--require` should be used. You also have to specify a glob that includes `.ts` files because mocha looks after files with `.js` extension by default. |
| |
| ```bash |
| mocha -r ts-node/register -r tsconfig-paths/register "test/**/*.ts" |
| ``` |
| |
| ### With other commands |
| |
| As long as the command has something similar to a `--require` option that can load a module before it starts, tsconfig-paths should be able to work with it. |
| |
| ### With `ts-node` and VSCode |
| |
| The following is an example configuration for the `.vscode/launch.json`. |
| |
| ```js |
| { |
| "version": "0.2.0", |
| "configurations": [ |
| { |
| "name": "Debug Functions", |
| "request": "launch", |
| "type": "node", |
| "runtimeArgs": [ |
| "-r", |
| "${workspaceFolder}/functions/node_modules/ts-node/register", |
| "-r", |
| "${workspaceFolder}/functions/node_modules/tsconfig-paths/register" |
| ], |
| "args": ["${workspaceFolder}/functions/src/index.ts"], |
| "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}", |
| "protocol": "inspector", |
| "env": { |
| "NODE_ENV": "development", |
| "TS_NODE_PROJECT": "${workspaceFolder}/functions/tsconfig.json" |
| }, |
| "outFiles": ["${workspaceFolder}/functions/lib/**/*.js"] |
| } |
| ] |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Bootstrapping with explicit params |
| |
| If you want more granular control over tsconfig-paths you can bootstrap it. This can be useful if you for instance have compiled with `tsc` to another directory where `tsconfig.json` doesn't exists. |
| |
| For example, create a wrapper script called `tsconfig-paths-bootstrap.js` with the contents below: |
| |
| ```javascript |
| const tsConfig = require("./tsconfig.json"); |
| const tsConfigPaths = require("tsconfig-paths"); |
| |
| const baseUrl = "./"; // Either absolute or relative path. If relative it's resolved to current working directory. |
| const cleanup = tsConfigPaths.register({ |
| baseUrl, |
| paths: tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths, |
| }); |
| |
| // When path registration is no longer needed |
| cleanup(); |
| ``` |
| |
| Then run with: |
| |
| `node -r ./tsconfig-paths-bootstrap.js main.js` |
| |
| ## Configuration Options |
| |
| You can set options by passing them before the script path, via programmatic usage or via environment variables. |
| |
| ```bash |
| ts-node --project customLocation/tsconfig.json -r tsconfig-paths/register "test/**/*.ts" |
| ``` |
| |
| ### CLI and Programmatic Options |
| |
| _Environment variable denoted in parentheses._ |
| |
| - `-P, --project [path]` Path to TypeScript JSON project file (`TS_NODE_PROJECT`) |
| |
| ## Config loading process |
| |
| 1. Use explicit params passed to register |
| 2. Use `process.env.TS_NODE_PROJECT` to resolve tsConfig.json and the specified baseUrl and paths. |
| 3. Resolves tsconfig.json from current working directory and the specified baseUrl and paths. |
| |
| ## Programmatic use |
| |
| The public API consists of these functions: |
| |
| - [register](#register) |
| - [loadConfig](#loadConfig) |
| - [createMatchPath](#createMatchPath) / [createMatchPathAsync](#createMatchPathAsync) |
| - [matchFromAbsolutePaths](#matchFromAbsolutePaths) / [matchFromAbsolutePathsAsync](#matchFromAbsolutePathsAsync) |
| |
| ### register |
| |
| ```typescript |
| export interface ExplicitParams { |
| baseUrl: string; |
| paths: { [key: string]: Array<string> }; |
| mainFields?: Array<string>; |
| addMatchAll?: boolean; |
| } |
| |
| /** |
| * Installs a custom module load function that can adhere to paths in tsconfig. |
| */ |
| export function register(explicitParams: ExplicitParams): () => void; |
| ``` |
| |
| This function will patch the node's module loading so it will look for modules in paths specified by tsconfig.json. |
| A function is returned for you to reinstate Node's original module loading. |
| |
| ### loadConfig |
| |
| ```typescript |
| export function loadConfig(cwd: string = process.cwd()): ConfigLoaderResult; |
| |
| export type ConfigLoaderResult = |
| | ConfigLoaderSuccessResult |
| | ConfigLoaderFailResult; |
| |
| export interface ConfigLoaderSuccessResult { |
| resultType: "success"; |
| absoluteBaseUrl: string; |
| paths: { [key: string]: Array<string> }; |
| } |
| |
| export interface ConfigLoaderFailResult { |
| resultType: "failed"; |
| message: string; |
| } |
| ``` |
| |
| This function loads the tsconfig.json. It will start searching from the specified `cwd` directory. Passing the tsconfig.json file directly instead of a directory also works. |
| |
| ### createMatchPath |
| |
| ```typescript |
| /** |
| * Function that can match a path |
| */ |
| export interface MatchPath { |
| ( |
| requestedModule: string, |
| readJson?: Filesystem.ReadJsonSync, |
| fileExists?: (name: string) => boolean, |
| extensions?: ReadonlyArray<string> |
| ): string | undefined; |
| } |
| |
| /** |
| * Creates a function that can resolve paths according to tsconfig paths property. |
| * @param absoluteBaseUrl Absolute version of baseUrl as specified in tsconfig. |
| * @param paths The paths as specified in tsconfig. |
| * @param mainFields A list of package.json field names to try when resolving module files. |
| * @param addMatchAll Add a match-all "*" rule if none is present |
| * @returns a function that can resolve paths. |
| */ |
| export function createMatchPath( |
| absoluteBaseUrl: string, |
| paths: { [key: string]: Array<string> }, |
| mainFields: string[] = ["main"], |
| addMatchAll: boolean = true |
| ): MatchPath { |
| ``` |
| |
| The `createMatchPath` function will create a function that can match paths. It accepts `baseUrl` and `paths` directly as they are specified in tsconfig and will handle resolving paths to absolute form. The created function has the signature specified by the type `MatchPath` above. |
| |
| ### matchFromAbsolutePaths |
| |
| ```typescript |
| /** |
| * Finds a path from tsconfig that matches a module load request. |
| * @param absolutePathMappings The paths to try as specified in tsconfig but resolved to absolute form. |
| * @param requestedModule The required module name. |
| * @param readJson Function that can read json from a path (useful for testing). |
| * @param fileExists Function that checks for existence of a file at a path (useful for testing). |
| * @param extensions File extensions to probe for (useful for testing). |
| * @param mainFields A list of package.json field names to try when resolving module files. |
| * @returns the found path, or undefined if no path was found. |
| */ |
| export function matchFromAbsolutePaths( |
| absolutePathMappings: ReadonlyArray<MappingEntry.MappingEntry>, |
| requestedModule: string, |
| readJson: Filesystem.ReadJsonSync = Filesystem.readJsonFromDiskSync, |
| fileExists: Filesystem.FileExistsSync = Filesystem.fileExistsSync, |
| extensions: Array<string> = Object.keys(require.extensions), |
| mainFields: string[] = ["main"] |
| ): string | undefined { |
| ``` |
| |
| This function is lower level and requires that the paths as already been resolved to absolute form and sorted in correct order into an array. |
| |
| ### createMatchPathAsync |
| |
| This is the async version of `createMatchPath`. It has the same signature but with a callback parameter for the result. |
| |
| ### matchFromAbsolutePathsAsync |
| |
| This is the async version of `matchFromAbsolutePaths`. It has the same signature but with a callback parameter for the result. |
