How to configure webpack 5 to output ts files in dist folder from src folder? - node.js

Question

I am using webpack 5 with typescript and a node.js app.
My folder structure is
src/
server.ts
mymodule.ts
public/
index.html
main.ts
utils.ts
but I want to output the compiled files as
dist/
server.js
mymodule.js
public/
index.html
bundle.js
This is my package.json
{
"name": "to-do",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "An application for to do list",
"main": "server.js",
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"start": "node server.js",
"debug": "node --inspect server.js",
"build": "webpack",
"serve": "webpack serve"
},
"license": "MIT",
"dependencies": {
"express": "^4.18.1",
"filenamify": "^5.1.1",
"html-webpack-plugin": "^5.5.0",
"http": "^0.0.1-security",
"ts-loader": "^9.3.1",
"typescript": "^4.7.4",
"webpack": "^5.73.0",
"webpack-cli": "^4.10.0",
"webpack-dev-server": "^4.9.3"
},
"keywords": [
"todo"
],
"devDependencies": {
"#types/express": "^4.17.13",
"#types/node": "^18.0.6"
}
}
This is my webpack configuration
import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import HtmlWebpackPlugin from 'html-webpack-plugin';
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);
export default {
entry: {
bundle : './src/public/main.ts'
},
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.tsx?$/,
use: 'ts-loader',
exclude: /node_modules/
}
]
},
target:'node',
resolve: {
extensions: ['.ts', '.js'],
},
plugins: [
new HtmlWebpackPlugin({
template: 'src/public/index.html',
scriptLoading:"module"
})
],
output: {
filename: '[name].js',
path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
clean: true
},
mode: 'development',
devtool: 'inline-source-map',
devServer: {
hot: true,
static: {
directory: './dist',
},
compress: true,
port: 3002,
headers: {
'Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy': 'require-corp',
'Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy': 'same-origin'
}
},
stats: {
errorDetails:true
}
};
I get an error about server.js can't be resolved, since I assume it looks at the main from package.json.
ERROR in ./src/public/main.ts 3:0-36
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './server.js' in 'C:\Users\Desktop\4\src\public'
resolve './server.js' in 'C:\Users\Desktop\4\src\public'
using description file: C:\Users\Desktop\4\package.json (relative path: ./src/public)
using description file: C:\Users\Desktop\4\package.json (relative path: ./src/public/server.js)
no extension
How can I resolve this?
