VistasHow to import a JSON5 file (as one can regular JSON) in Typescript?
I would like to import a JSON5 file into a Javascript object in the same way [one can import a JSON file](import config from '../config.json').
Shows this message on hovering but it's clearly there
Cannot find module '../conf/config.json5' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)
I have 2 side questions related to the main one above:
- Will I get intelisense for contents inside .json5, like regular json
- Does it even work like it works with require()? Do I have to use import() instead of regular import ?

You will need the package to do so: json5.
There are one of two ways we can use this:
One: (target module system is CommonJS) require it
Following the README, we register json5:
import "json5/lib/register";
Then you can use require to import it:
const config = require("../config/config.json5");
Two: Reading the file and then using json5 to parse it:
import json5 from "json5";
import { readFile } from "fs/promises";
(async () => {
const text = await fs.readFile("./path/to/config.json5"); // path to config.json5 from entry point
const config = json5.parse(text);
})();
You can also use the provided CLI to convert json5 files to regular json that you can use.
