not working on compiling ts to js

[m0hdasif]

@Rush,

I really liked your package, but I ran into issue while I was implementing the links in typescript. It is working fine in typescript but got the following issue on compiling the project into JavaScript.

Error: Cannot find module '@utils/httpService

Please tell me, how can I resolve the issue?

Could you provide a sample repo where the problem occurs? I think I dealt with a similar issue but would need to see what was the problem in your case.

@m0hdasif tsconfig.json:

    "rootDir": "src",
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["src/utils/*"]
    }

package.json:

"_moduleAliases": {
    "@utils": "src/utils"
},

You'll want to prefix the link-module-alias before all your node command e.g.: nodemon.json:

 "exec": "link-module-alias && node...

Personally, I'd just alias the root: tsconfig.json:

"paths": {
      "~/*": ["src/*"]
    }

package.json:

"~": "src"

Thanks @khuezy for suggestion, I made it work by making following tweaks in expressJs application:

tsconfig.json:

    "rootDir": "src",
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["src/utils/*"]
    }

package.json:

• creating links post-build

"scripts": {
    "preinstall": "which link-module-alias && link-module-alias clean || echo",
    "postinstall": "link-module-alias",
    "build": "rm -rf build/ && tsc && link-module-alias",
    "start": "node build/src/index.js"
  },
"_moduleAliases": {
    "@utils": "build/src/utils"
}

Hi @Rush, I am facing the said issue while using serverless-plugin-typescript plugin in server-less application. I need to check if I could run link-module-alias command with above tweaks post compilation to JavaScript while running/deploying the server-less application.
