[FR]: Have gazelle js language pick up `tsconfig` targets from parent directories
Closed this issue · 1 comments
What is the current behavior?
Currently, the js gazelle language does not automatically discover tsconfig files and those generates targets like:
ts_project(
name = "xyz"
)
If you do not have a ts_config
target in that package, then the rule fails.
Describe the feature
Our standard repository layout is all React apps where we use a single tsconfig.json
file at the root of the repository for the project and tests:
typescript/react_app1
tsconfig.json
src/
pages/
components/
typescript/react_app1
tsconfig.json
src/
...
typescript/react_app1
tsconfig.json
src/
...
For all of the ts_project
targets generated under src/
(or any subdirectory of react_appX
), it would be helpful if the generated ts_project
would point to the tsconfig
in the root of the application directory. It would be fine if this was discovered via a setting that set a convention or if you had to specify the tsconfig.json
to use via directive at the root of each application.
At currrent, the workaround is to use map_kind
to map ts_project
to a macro where we manually override the value.
