Idea behind the example
This is an of how to use Razzle with TypeScript.
In razzle.config.js
, we locate the part of the webpack configuration
that is running babel-loader
and swap it out for ts-loader
.
Additionally, we make sure Razzle knows how to resolve .ts
and .tsx
files.
Lastly, we also need to modify our Jest configuration to handle typescript files.
Thus we add ts-jest
and @types/jest
to our dev dependencies. Then we augment Razzle's default jest setup by adding a field in our package.json
.
// package.json
The tslint.json
and tsconfig.json
are taken from Microsoft's official
TypeScript-React-Starter.
Note: You do not techincally need to fully replace babel-loader
with
ts-loader
to use TypeScript. Both TS and Babel transpile ES6 code,
so when you run both webpack loaders you are making Razzle do twice the work. From our testing,
this can make HMR extremely slow on larger apps. Thus, this example overwrites
babel-loader
with ts-loader
. However, if you are incrementally moving to typescript you may want to run both loaders side by side. If you are running both, add this to your jest.transform
setup in package.json
:
"^.+\\.(js|jsx)$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/razzle/config/jest/babelTransform.js",
This will continue to transform .js files through babel.
