Typescript Configuration File Merger

A tool that generates multiple configuration files by merging multiple input configuration files. The input files, output file names, and their order of merging are specified in a central configuration file.

Installation

You can install the tool globally or as a development dependency in your project using the npm install command, or use it directly with npx.

To install it globally, run:

npm install -g ts-config-merger

To install it as a development dependency in your project, run:

npm install --save-dev ts-config-merger

To use it directly with npx, run:

npx ts-config-merger

Usage

The tool can be run from the command line and takes two optional arguments:

configFile: The location of the central configuration file (defaults to ./config.json).
outputFolder: The location of the output folder (defaults to the current working directory).

Example usage:

ts-config-merger -- configFile=./path/to/config.json outputFolder=./path/to/output

Configuration File Format

The central configuration file is a JSON file that specifies the names of the output files and the order in which the input files should be merged. The format of the file is as follows:

{
  "tsconfig.outputFile1.json": [
    "./tsconfig.inputFile1.json",
    "./tsconfig.inputFile2.json"
  ],
  "tsconfig.outputFile2.json": [
    "./tsconfig.inputFile3.json",
    "./tsconfig.inputFile4.json"
  ]
}

Limitations

The tool only supports TS Config JSON files as inputs and outputs.
