I have a node/typescript project structured like so:
- node_modules // => these are loaded npm/package.json
- src
- node_modules // => shared modules for my project, not on npm
- lib.ts
- app.ts
- package.json
I have a secondary node_modules folder for my private packages mainly so I can import them from anywhere in my project and not have to worry about relative paths (as suggested here) on imports.
This works great because instead of import * as lib from '../../lib' or var lib = require('../../lib'), I can import * as lib from 'lib'.
Typescript compiles/loads lib w/o problem, but VS Code intellisense complains that it "cannot find module 'lib'".
FWIW, here is my tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"experimentalDecorators": false,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": false,
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es2015",
"rootDir": "src"
}
}
I needed to modify the package.json of my lib to include a "typings" property:
{
"name": "lib",
"version": "0.0.1",
"main": "lib.js",
"typings": "lib"
}

I am struggling to properly stub/mock unit tests when using es6 modules along with a project with mixed .js and .ts files.
According to this post, testdouble should be able to provide the ESM mocking I need. However, it requires using --loader=testdouble to work, and I am currently using --loader=ts-node/esm. If I attempt to replace ts-node/esm, it is unable to find Typescript files:
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module
'/Users/repos/my-repo/src/models/connectionModel.js'
imported from
/Users/repos/my-repo/test/constants.tjs
(connectionModel is ts and imported as .js per esm convention)
Due to project requirements, I would need the project to be compiled in es6+, so removing type: module or setting module: cjs are not viable options for me.
Is there a viable way to use both loaders, or some other viable way to mock with es6?
package.json:
{
"type": "module",
"scripts": {
"test": mocha test/*.js test/*.spec.ts -r dotenv/config
}
}
tsconfig.json:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2016",
"module": "es6,
"moduleResolution": "node16"
"allowJs": true,
"esModuleInterop": true
},
"ts-node": {
"esm": true
}
"include": [
"./src/**/*",
"test/**/*/.ts",
"test/**/*.js"
}
}
.mocharc.json: (grabbing from this answer)
{
"node-option": [
"experimental-specifier-resolution=node",
"loader=ts-node/esm"
]
}
I'm working on a nodeJs/Typescript app and I would like to be able to launch it from the dist/ folder.
The structure of each src and dist folders is something like that :
server/
|---dist/
| |---server/
| |---src/
| |---index.js
| |---utils/
| |---connection.js
|---src/
| |---index.ts
| |---utils/
| |---connection.ts
|
|---package.json
|---tsconfig.json
This dist folder is the generated code, with this path being configured using outDir inside of my tsconfig.json file.
I have also configured the main property in my package.json to be dist/server/src/index.js and the type property to be module
In this project, I am using Typescript 4.0.5
I have specified paths property in my tsconfig.json to be "utils/*" : ["src/utils/*"], the baseUrl property to be './' and the property moduleResolution strategy to be node
Now this is my issue. I would like to be able to import my modules the same way i do in my source code, but this time directly from the dist folder, like this :
import createConnection from 'utils/connexion';
However, when i hover the import declaration in VScode, it does not seems to resolve the module and i get an error Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'utils' imported from /home/maxime/Dev/JeuxDuPlacard/packages/server/dist/server/src/index.js
When i do the same operation from my Typescript files, it works as expected.
The paths of the files in the dist folder is the same in the Server folder. If the problem comes form the module resolution, Is there a way to persist the paths aliases in the dist folder (without installing a third party library) ?

That's right, because you CAN'T import files from outside your workdir. What you could do, is you could link a local module and access it as you would any other npm package.
npm link (in package dir)
npm link [<#scope>/]<pkg>[#<version>]
alias: npm ln

I'm working on an express application and I'm having trouble with wildcard imports, such as import * as E from 'fp-ts/Either';
Error message:
Error \[ERR\_MODULE\_NOT\_FOUND\]: Cannot find module '/home/adam/code/rbsports/server/node\_modules/fp-ts/Either' imported from /home/adam/code/rbsports/server/dist/controllers/bracket.js
Did you mean to import fp-ts/lib/Either.js?
Are wildcard imports not supported for a node 14 app targeting es2020?
my tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "es2020",
"target": "es2020",
"lib": ["es2020"],
"baseUrl": "src",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"outDir": "dist",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
}
}
and im running the app with node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node . in the folder with package.json
relevant parts of package.json
{
...
"type": "module",
"main": "dist/app.js"
...
}
followed this stack overflow post and this github repo
This may be an issue with how you are importing. I think Either lives in fp-ts/lib/Either and you’re importing from fp-ts/Either
Edit: the error message you posted says this as well I’ve just noticed
I have a TypeScript React project organized as follows:
tsconfig.json
package.json
yarn.lock
lerna.json
node_modules/
packages/
ui-library/
package.json
tsconfig.json
typings.d.ts
src/
fonts/
myfont.ttf
components/
GlobalStyle.tsx
lib/ <-- `tsc` builds to here
web-app/
package.json
src/
components/
The web-app imports the ui-library as a commonjs module in its package.json. This is managed through Yarn Workspaces, hence node_modules being at the root instead of each folder. At one point, the web-app imports GlobalStyle from the ui-lib, which is where the issue occurs.
Error: Cannot find module '../fonts/myfont.ttf'
Require stack:
- /Users/me/sources/myproject/packages/ui-library/lib/styles/GlobalStyle.js...
Here is the original import statement from ui-library/src/GlobalStyle.tsx that causes the issue:
import myFont from "../fonts/myfont.ttf";
const GlobalStyle = () => (
<style global jsx>{`
#font-face {
font-family: "My font family";
src: url(${myFont}) format("truetype");
}
...</style>);
The issue is the require statement in the emitted GlobalStyle.js code, built when I run tsc in the ui-lib folder:
const MYFONT_ttf_1 = __importDefault(require("./myfont.ttf"));
I googled this issue online, and I found you had to add typings for compiling .ttf and other abnormal imports. So I created a typings.d.ts file with this declaration:
declare module "*.ttf" {
const value: string;
export default value;
}
And I included it on ui-library/tsconfig.json as follows:
{
"extends": "../../tsconfig.json",
"exclude": ["lib"],
"include": ["src"],
"files": ["./typings.d.ts"],
"compilerOptions": {
"baseUrl": "src",
"outDir": "lib",
"declaration": true,
"declarationMap": true,
"noEmit": false
}
}
The tsconfig above extends the root tsconfig:
{
"files": ["./typings.d.ts"],
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es2019",
"lib": ["dom", "es2019"],
"strict": true,
"jsx": "react",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"isolatedModules": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"noUnusedLocals": false,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
"strictNullChecks": true,
"sourceMap": true,
"noEmit": true,
"declaration": false
},
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
We are using TypeScript 3.8. Let me know if there is any additional info to provide. My hunch is that I am either using the wrong module/target, or fundamentally misunderstanding some aspect of this.
More Details
I should note the reason we are using CommonJS modules is because ts-node can only work with that. We pull in ts-node when we are doing our gatsby build, following the gist here in gatsby-config.js:
require("ts-node").register();
// Use a TypeScript version of gatsby-config.js.
module.exports = require("./gatsby-config.ts");
Maybe it's an impossible problem to solve, to get fonts imported through ts-node which is a server side environment? Confused on what the right approach is to export a module with fonts. Willing to get rid of ts-node, and leave the Gatsby config files as js.. but mostly just want to be able to import my fonts.
I solved this by just copying the fonts as part of build steps. Basically, fonts have their own pipeline. There may be better ways, but this works well enough.
I would import class in nodejs and use it in app.ts
var nano = require("nano");
import { EnvConfig } from './envConfig.service';
let config = new EnvConfig();
const dbCredentials: any = config.appEnv.getServiceCreds('dataservices');
export const nanodb = nano({
url: dbCredentials.url,
});
export const nanodbCockpitLight = nanodb.use('data');
console.log(dbCredentials);
When I try to compile I get this error.
import { EnvConfig } from './envConfig.service';

You cannot run node app.ts file directly that won't work
You need transpiler like babel js or typescript compiler tsc so first transpile to js file and then run node app.js
You're using .js extension, you need .ts extension, e.g.: app.ts instead of app.js.
Make sure you have typescript either in npm global or in dev dependencies.
I suspect whatever you're importing has typescript syntax (strong typing and such), and so running node directly won't work. You need to run tsc first, which will transpile everything to javascript in a dist folder, and then run node dist/app.js.
This is a bit cumbersome though, which is why there is ts-node. It's exactly what it sounds like, a node REPL for typescript. You should be able to run ts-node src/app.ts.
import { something } is a typescript syntax, it won't work in a .js file. That is a separate language. Try using require instead.
Use babel js which is a toolchain that is mainly used to convert ECMAScript 2015+ code into a backwards compatible version of JavaScript in current and older browsers or environments.
