# @mastondzn/typescript-transform-paths

Fork of [typescript-transform-paths](https://github.com/LeDDGroup/typescript-transform-paths) with some small export changes, and now uses rollup for compiling. I don't recommend you use this package, use the original instead. It may be very broken with your usage.

Transform compiled source module resolution paths using TypeScript's `paths` config, and/or custom resolution paths.

## Setup Steps

### 1. Install

```sh
<yarn|npm|pnpm> add -D typescript-transform-paths
```

### 2. Configure

Add it to _plugins_ in your _tsconfig.json_

#### Example Config

```jsonc
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    // Configure your path mapping here
    "paths": {
      "@utils/*": ["utils/*"]
    },
    // Note: To transform paths for both the output .js and .d.ts files, you need both of the below entries
    "plugins": [
      // Transform paths in output .js files
      { "transform": "typescript-transform-paths" },

      // Transform paths in output .d.ts files (Include this line if you output declarations files)
      { "transform": "typescript-transform-paths", "afterDeclarations": true }
    ]
  }
}
```

#### Example result

`core/index.ts`

```tsx
// The following transforms path to '../utils/sum'
import { sum } from "@utils/sum";
```

### 3. Usage

- **Compile with `tsc`** — Use [ts-patch](https://github.com/nonara/ts-patch)

- **Use with ts-node** — Add `typescript-transform-paths/register` to `require` config.

  `tsconfig.json`

  ```jsonc
  {
    "ts-node": {
      "transpileOnly": true,
      "require": [ "typescript-transform-paths/register" ],
    },
    "compilerOptions" { /* ... */ }
  }
  ```

- **Use with node** — Use the register script: `node -r typescript-transform-paths/register src/index.ts`

- **Use with NX** — Add the `typescript-transform-paths/nx-transformer` to project config

  `project.json`

  ```jsonc
  {
    /* ... */
    "targets": {
      "build": {
        /* ... */
        "options": {
          /* ... */
          "transformers": [
            {
              "name": "typescript-transform-paths/nx-transformer",
              "options": { "afterDeclarations": true }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
  ```

## Virtual Directories

TS allows defining
[virtual directories](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/module-resolution.html#virtual-directories-with-rootdirs)
via the `rootDirs` compiler option.  
To enable virtual directory mapping, use the `useRootDirs` plugin option.

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

#### Example

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

`src/file1.ts`

```ts
import "#root/file2.ts"; // resolves to './file2'
```

`src/subdir/sub-file.ts`

```ts
import "#root/file2.ts"; // resolves to '../file2'
import "#root/file1.ts"; // resolves to '../file1'
```

## Custom Control

### Exclusion patterns

You can disable transformation for paths based on the resolved file path. The `exclude` option allows specifying glob
patterns to match against resolved file path.

For an example context in which this would be useful, see [Issue #83](https://github.com/LeDDGroup/typescript-transform-paths/issues/83)

Example:

```jsonc
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "sub-module1/*": ["../../node_modules/sub-module1/*"],
      "sub-module2/*": ["../../node_modules/sub-module2/*"]
    },
    "plugins": [
      {
        "transform": "typescript-transform-paths",
        "exclude": ["**/node_modules/**"]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

```ts
// This path will not be transformed
import * as sm1 from "sub-module1/index";
```

### @transform-path tag

Use the `@transform-path` tag to explicitly specify the output path for a single statement.

```ts
// @transform-path https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/17.0.1/umd/react.production.min.js
import react from "react"; // Output path will be the url above
```

### @no-transform-path

Use the `@no-transform-path` tag to explicitly disable transformation for a single statement.

```ts
// @no-transform-path
import "normally-transformed"; // This will remain 'normally-transformed', even though it has a different value in paths config
```
