Importing a json module
Hello again! One other minor issue I encountered: how can I import a JSON module (import { something } from "./somewhere/my.json";) ?
I followed some TS tutorial and enabled esModuleInterop and resolveJsonModule compilerOptions in tsconfig.json but I get a build error in [ Wasp ] TS2732 cannot find module … consider using --resolveJsonModule

Hi @Šlukas MacPrásk, Wasp unfortunately doesn't support importing JSON directly.
You'll have to parse it or convert the file to a regular JS object and import that.
As for the tsconfig.json - Yes, that should work, but Wasp unfortunately doesn't yet take the user's tsconfig.json into account when processing code. The
tsconfig.json file is only there for the IDE support (as explained by the comment on top of the file).
We do plan to improve this though, here's an issue where we keep track of it: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/835
Sorry for the inconvenienceGitHub
