I'm authoring a library with a configuration that I want to make customizable by adding a .prtcls.config.js file in the root of the project. When my library gets installed, it exists within the project's node_modules folder.

Even though I can point to the right file for the import, I get the following TS error:

File '/path/to/project/.prtcls.config.js' is not under 'rootDir' '/path/to/project/node_modules/prtcls'. 'rootDir' is expected to contain all source files.ts(6059)

Here's the tsconfig in the /node_modules/prtcls folder:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
    "alwaysStrict": true,
    "checkJs": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "target": "ESNext",
    "rootDir": "./",
    // "baseUrl": "./",
    "outDir": "dist/",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "importHelpers": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames":true,
    "removeComments":true,
    "strict":true,
  },
  "include": ["../../.prtcls.config.js", "**/*.js"],
  // "exclude": ["dist/"]
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "lib", "tests"]
}

Is there any way to import the object that would be exported from /path/to/project/.prtcls.config.js?
