esm-loader-typescript
Node.js ESModule Loader for importing and loading
Typescript (.ts
) files and transpiling on the fly.
Warning! Using experimental Node.js features and flags, API will likely change. This may be helpful for development and testing, but should not be used in production.
Usage
npm install --save-dev esm-loader-typescript
We want to import a .ts
file with Node.js:
// index.ts
const words: string = 'hello'
console.log(words)
// 'hello'
Standalone
# node >= 20.7
cat << EOF > ./register.js
import { register } from 'node:module'
register('esm-loader-typescript', import.meta.url)
EOF
NODE_OPTIONS="--import ./register.js" node index.ts
# node < 20.7
NODE_OPTIONS="--loader esm-loader-typescript" node index.ts
Chainable
This loader can be configured, and chained with other loaders, using node-esm-loader.
npm install --save-dev node-esm-loader
// .loaderrc.js
export default {
loaders: ['esm-loader-typescript'],
}
# node >= 20.7
NODE_OPTIONS="--import node-esm-loader/register" node index.ts
# node < 20.7
NODE_OPTIONS="--loader node-esm-loader" node index.ts
Options
Config
You may specify a custom TypeScript config filename to use:
// .loaderrc.js
export default {
loaders: [
{
loader: 'esm-loader-typescript',
options: {
config: 'tsconfig-custom.json',
},
},
],
}
Otherwise, if a tsconfig.json
file is found, it will be loaded and used.
Debug
// .loaderrc.js
export default {
loaders: [
{
loader: 'esm-loader-typescript',
options: {
debug: true,
},
},
],
}
