I am trying to use node module in my typescript code, however I get this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "fs". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".
I have looked the previous posts on stackflow and tried updating my tscofig.json file.
I have tried importing it as:
import * as fs from "fs";
const fs = require('fs');
However, both results in the runtime error. Here is my tsconfig.json file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "ES6",
"rootDir": "./src",
"outDir": "./dist"
}
}
Would be great it someone can guide me towards the cause of the error and possible solutions。
P.S. I have tried reinstalling node modules using npm install --save @types/node
Change tsconfig.json like
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2017", /* Set the JavaScript language version for emitted JavaScript and include compatible library declarations. */
"module": "commonjs", /* Specify what module code is generated. */
"rootDir": "./src", /* Specify the root folder within your source files. */
"moduleResolution": "node", /* Specify how TypeScript looks up a file from a given module specifier. */
"outDir": "./dist", /* Specify an output folder for all emitted files. */
"esModuleInterop": true, /* Emit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables `allowSyntheticDefaultImports` for type compatibility. */
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, /* Ensure that casing is correct in imports. */
"strict": true, /* Enable all strict type-checking options. */
"skipLibCheck": true /* Skip type checking all .d.ts files. */
}
}
