The tsconfig for node is not optimal if using node v14.
Could we add new configs suffixed with node version ?
And maybe we could use process.version to infer the correct config.

More information about optimal tsconfig for node v14 can be found here

I can do a PR, if you are ok with that

It would be neat to add flags e.g. npx tsconfig.json --react for convenience. I'm using the command as part of a zsh alias, so this would allow me to avoid having the select the same option every time.

It should let me choose between react, react native or node (as per this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6ypD7qv3Z8&t=296s) but it only create a file with the following

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

The ouput:

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
else 
  node  "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
  ret=$?
fi
exit $ret

Could you know tsconfig for VueJs? If u know, can you create one? Thank's you!

Hello, the new config file is not good with my NodeJS project. I'm copying the old version for now. If you can fix that issue it would be great.

Running on windows 10
my %userprofile% path has a space in it which messes up the code

System Information:

node -v
14.15.1

uname -osr
Linux 5.8.0-41-generic GNU/Linux

yarn -v
1.22.10

npm -v
7.5.2

Problem:
https://github.com/benawad/tsconfig.json/blob/master/src/index.js#L61 is causing the generated tsconfig file to have broken formatting (see screenshot below)

Possible solution:
Fixable by removing the call to the JSON.stringify() method and simply passing config.toString() to writeFile method.

When i type npx tsconfig.json and hit enter, a notepad called tsconfig.json opens containing:

#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")

case `uname` in
    *CYGWIN*|*MINGW*|*MSYS*) basedir=`cygpath -w "$basedir"`;;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  exec "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/node_modules/tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
else 
  exec node  "$basedir/node_modules/tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
fi

The shell waits while the notepad is open. The shell now contains:

C:\Users\simon>npx tsconfig.json

C:\Users\simon>

This is the case for

• CMD
• CMD Admin
• PowerShell
• Git Bash

On a Windows 10 Desktop
I don't know if this is a problem on my end.

Hi Ben, I'm planning to change the way we read and write config files. I feel like downloading the scripts along with the files is a little bit redundant, and I am not sure if it would be a good idea to stick the files in your github repo and read it using the github api which will effectively reduce the size.

C:\Users\Saif\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\bb22b66c4c94b5c9\node_modules\.bin\tsconfig.json

the code says:

`#!/bin/sh
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\,/,g')")

case uname in
CYGWIN|MINGW|MSYS) basedir=cygpath -w "$basedir";;
esac

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
else
exec node "$basedir/../tsconfig.json/src/index.js" "$@"
fi`

Hi Ben,

I was wondering if you could publish the package with all the new modifications so the people using it since then can benefit from them?

Hello!
this repo is very interesting on creating tsconfig, but is there any tutorial on using this?

or maybe @benawad has some tutorial in his youtube channel that i can create more informational README based on?

For some reason this tsconfig does not allow es modules:

(node:4907) Warning: To load an ES module, set "type": "module" in the package.json or use the .mjs extension.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

I have tried every fix and still can't seem to make it run the command instead of opening the file.

Whenever I run npx tsconfig.json, it opens a tsconfig.json file in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\bb22b66c4c94b5c9\node_modules\.bin\tsconfig.json on Windows. How can I make it work?

Hey Ben, this project would be a lot nicer if it has a feature of pulling tsconfig.json from any public GitHub repo that has it. This way everyone can use this package to create "your opinionated" and "<user> opinionated" tsconfig.

Example

npx tsconfig.json -t benawad:dogehouse/baklava/tsconfig.json
npx tsconfig.json -t 41y08h:jstube-api

Looking forward to this feature, thanks.
