jsconfig.json

Automatically generates jsconfig.json for your vscode workspace with optional support for custom absolute path aliases used for import/export extracted from webpack config resolve alias option or node imports subpath patterns defined in package.json.

Quick start

npx jsconfig.json

By default the jsconfig.json is generated in current working directory (this is also where the script looks for existence of webpack.config.js or package.json file in order to try to extract path aliases).

This can be changed by providing path to custom working directory as a first argument of the cli (npx jsconfig.json ~/Workspace/my-project).

Templates

There are few predefined jsconfig.json templates, that can be selected using -t, --template argument to help bootstrap the correct environment (default [default option], nextjs, react, vuejs and node).

npx jsconfig.json --template=nextjs

Additional CLI options

These allow you to further overwrite additional defaults or even provide custom --baseUrl and --webpackConfigPath that are used to generate correct paths to aliases. Lastly --output is used to define custom output directory for generated jsconfig.json file (this will not change the path aliases generation in any way). For more options run:

npx jsconfig.json --help

Usage: npx jsconfig.json <srcPath> [options]

Options:
      --help                    Show help                                           [boolean]

    [string] [choices: "es3", "es5", "es6", "es2015", "es2016", "es2017", "es2018", "es2019",
                                                      "es2020", "esnext"] [default: "es2020"]
  -m, --module                  Specifies the module system, when generating module code
    [string] [choices: "amd", "commonJS", "es2015", "es6", "esnext", "none", "system", "umd"]
                                                                          [default: "es2015"]
  -r, --moduleResolution        Specifies how modules are resolved for imports

  -e, --experimentalDecorators  Enables experimental support for proposed ES decorators
                                                                                    [boolean]
  -s, --syntheticImports        Allow default imports from modules with no default export.
                                This does not affect code emit, just type checking. [boolean]

Support

• Node.js >= 12.x

Contributions

Contributions of any kind are very welcome!

This repository uses conventional commits in order to correctly generate CHANGELOG and release automatically. This means that all commits should follow correct form defined in the conventional commits specification. To make this process easier (and since there's pre-commit hook to validate commit messages. which won't let you commit invalid messages) you can run commit wizard using:

npm run commit

Which will take you through the process of generating correct format of the commit message.

Development

To run cli in development you can use npm run dev to fires up nodemon which watches changes over the source files. By default the result is written to tmp/jsconfig.json when using nodemon (this looks int the root directory of the repository for webpack configs, you can provide custom webpack config while developing using CLI options npm run dev -- --webpackConfig=/tmp/custom.webpack.test.config.js).

Tests

Tests are written using jest framework. To run them use either npm run test or npm run test:unit, npm run test e2e to run each set of tests separately.
