JeremyTubongbanua / CountWatcher

Discord bot personal project for watching counting channel

TypeScript commands

- tsc - compile everything to .js
- tsc src/index.ts - compile index.ts to .js
- tsc -w - compile watch mode
- node out/index.js - run the project

tsconfig.json

- outDir: "out", - compile directory
- "resolveJsonModule": true", - for importing jsons
Typescript 2.9.0 has a bug with this JSON feature, it was fixed with 2.9.2
- "esModuleInterop": true - for importing jsons
The esModuleInterop is only necessary for the default import of the colorsJson. If you leave it set to false then you have to import it with import * as colorsJson from '../colors.json'
Note: Option "resolveJsonModule" cannot be specified without "node" module resolution strategy, so you also need to put "moduleResolution": "node" into your tsconfig.json. It also comes with the downside, that the *.json files you want to import need to be inside of "rootDir".
