👉 Example Repository for Stackoverflow Question about VSCode and Typescript

Setup

yarn bootstrap

Gist

All source code file are written in Typescript (.ts) under /src folder.

All compiled files (.js and .ts) are located under /dist (those files are created by the typescript compiler)

Replicate Issue

This issue happens in Visual Studio Code

1. Run yarn bootstrap
2. Open /services/example-service/src/index.ts
3. Right click on Food and choose "Go to Definition"

Current behavior

VSCode opens /packages/example-package/dist/index.d.ts

Expected behavior

VSCode opens /packages/example-package/src/index.ts

Issue

When I'm editing the typescript source code (in /src), I want to be able to click on any imported object via right click + go to definition or F12 to jump to the definition in the respective packages' /src folder.

But what happens instead, is that it opens the .d.ts file in the /dist folder.

Is it possible to change this behavior?
