ts-node cannot import pure typescript npm module inside node_modules directory #158
Description
I had wroten a pure typescript npm module(without any .js file), and want to use it in my server project which use ts-node(without any compile work like tsc) to run directly. because my case is a server environment, so startup time is not a problem.
- my npm module is here: https://github.com/zixia/wechaty-io
- my server typescript file is here: link
the problem is: ts-node cannot use import to load pure typescript inside node_modules directory, I had to do a little hack(move it out, use soft link to link it back).
Which cannot run:
$ npm install
$ ts-node bin/index.ts
/Users/zixia/git/wechaty.io/node_modules/wechaty-io/index.ts:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { export * from './src/io-server'
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token exportWhich could run
my hack is: move wechaty-io module directory out of node_modules, then use soft link to link it back
$ npm install
$ mv node_modules/wechaty-io .
$ ln -s ../wechaty-io node_modules/
$ ts-node bin/index.ts
info io-server Listening on 8080
info io-server init succeedIt seems the import in ts-node will not work when the pure typescript module is in node_modules directory. But, after we changed the physics directory out of node_modules directory, ts-node will make import work properly.
Is there any better solution to do this? Thanks.

Isn't this a duplicate of #155? We don't enable TypeScript modules in
node_modules, node modules should be JavaScript.glebmachine commentedon Jun 19, 2017
Isn't this a duplicate of #155? We don't enable TypeScript modules in node_modules, node modules should be JavaScript.That's look weird, because we have got a lot libraries which doesn't compiled properly..
Is there any option to replace import folder for
node_modules? Or disablenode_modulesignoring?blakeembrey commentedon Jun 21, 2017
@glebmachine Sure. Check the README or the linked issue.
