I am trying to set up a basic nest.js app.
main.js is in the src folder. I run this command:
npx ts-node-dev src/main.ts
I get this error:
Cannot find module 'typescript'
Require stack:
- /home/yilmaz/.npm/_npx/429895/lib/node_modules/ts-node-dev/lib/index.js
- /home/yilmaz/.npm/_npx/429895/lib/node_modules/ts-node-dev/lib/bin.js
I installed typescript globally, close the terminal and restart it. run tsc -v and I get "Version 4.3.5" but the error is not resolved.
This is the tsconfig.json:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es2017",
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true
}
}
After I installed typescript, I recreated this file with tsc --init
and enabled
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true
I had this problem myself and even tough I didn't clearly understand the main cause, I did the following stuff and it worked out.
So basically I have installed the ts-node-dev package as a dev dependency(npm i --save-dev ts-node-dev), and after that was running into another error regarding rxjs, so I just installed that too as a dependency(npm i rxjs) and after that it worked ts-node-dev as well as npx ts-node-dev
