Convert tsconfig paths to webpack aliases

Utility package to convert typescript paths notation to webpack aliases.

Description

Typescript uses globstar in paths compiler option that is incompatible with webpack alias property. This utility function converts paths found in tsconfig.json file to notation which webpack understands. In this way typescript and webpack aliases are always in sync and there is only one source of truth when it comes to aliases.

Usage

in your webpack.config

const convertPathsToAliases = require("convert-tsconfig-paths-to-webpack-aliases").default
const tsconfig = require("./tsconfig.json") // all comments in tsconfig.json must be removed
const aliases = convertPathsToAliases(tsconfig) 
 
module.exports = {
  ...
  resolve: {
    alias: aliases
  }
}
