First of all thanks for trying to help me. I'll get straight into it.

I'm trying to transpile Typescript files to JS files. These typescript files are scattered throughout a directory (all modules follow the same file structure)

The package.json command is: "build:js": "babel app/code/VendorName/**/view/adminhtml/web/ts --out-dir js --extensions \".ts,.tsx\" --source-maps inline"

All of the typescript files reside in different folders within VendorName (notice the **). Within it through the typescript files are in view/adminhtml/web/ts, always.

I would like to transpile all of these files and put them in their respective modules' js folders which are in:

app/code/VendorName/**/view/adminhtml/web/js. Meaning literally next to the ts folder. How can I make it, so that the --out-dir is relative to the directory that I'm transpiling? Is that even possible? Otherwise I'll have to setup a config for each and every single module I'm developing, which would be a bit of a nuisance.
