typescript-transform-paths

Transforms absolute imports to relative from paths in your tsconfig.json

Install

npm:

npm i -D typescript-transform-paths

yarn:

yarn add -D typescript-transform-paths

Usage with ttypescript or ts-patch

Add it to plugins in your tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["utils/*"]
    },
    "plugins": [{ "transform": "typescript-transform-paths" }]
  }
}

Transforming declaration paths

If you want to generate declaration (.d.ts) files with transformed paths you have to modify your tsconfig.json file:

  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["utils/*"]
    },
    "declaration": true,
    "plugins": [
      { "transform": "typescript-transform-paths" },
      { "transform": "typescript-transform-paths", "afterDeclarations": true }
    ]
  }

See issue4 for more information.

Virtual Directory Support

TS allows defining virtual directories via the rootDirs compiler option. To enable virtual directory mapping, use the useRootDirs plugin option.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "rootDirs": [ "src", "generated" ],
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "#root/*": [ "./src/*", "./generated/*" ]
    },
    "plugins": [
      { "transform": "typescript-transform-paths", useRootDirs: true },
    ]
  }
}

Example output

- src/
    - subdir/
      - sub-file.ts
    - file1.ts
- generated/
    - file2.ts

src/file1.ts

import '#root/file2.ts' // resolves to './file2'

src/subdir/sub-file.ts

import '#root/file2.ts' // resolves to '../file2'
import '#root/file1.ts' // resolves to '../file1'

Example Config

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["utils/*"]
    }
  }
}

// core/index.ts
import { sum } from "@utils/sum";

sum(2, 3);

Gets compiled to:

// core/index.js
var sum_1 = require("../utils/sum");
sum_1.sum(2, 3);
