how to add a something to .nuxt/tsconfig.server.ts ?
Hello,
If you need to add something to the auto generated file: ./.nuxt/tsconfig.ts you can do so by adding something like this to ./nuxt.config.ts
typescript: {
tsConfig: {
compilerOptions: {
paths: {
"@/data-schema": ["../../be/amplify/data/resource"],
},
},
},
},
It is documented here https://nuxt.com/docs/api/nuxt-config#tsconfig and works perfectly.
But how would you do this for ./.nuxt/tsconfig.server.ts ?
Thanks π9 Replies
Hi @Tiger Nut. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
To add something specifically to the
.nuxt/tsconfig.server.ts file in a Nuxt project, you can use a slightly different approach. Here's how you can do it:
1. Create a server/tsconfig.json file in your project root with the following content:
This is mentioned in the Nuxt documentation Server Types (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/server#server-types).
2. In your nuxt.config.ts, you can use the prepare:types hook to modify the server TypeScript configuration. Here's an example:
This approach uses the prepare:types hook, which is called before Nuxt writes the .nuxt/tsconfig.json and .nuxt/nuxt.d.ts files. It allows you to modify the TypeScript configuration options directly Nuxt Hooks (build time) (https://nuxt.com/docs/api/advanced/hooks#nuxt-hooks-build-time).
Keep in mind that while this method allows you to modify the TypeScript configuration for the server, the changes won't be reflected in the IDE when type-checking (nuxi typecheck). However, you should get better type hints in your IDE for server-side code.
It's important to note that modifying the auto-generated TypeScript configuration files directly is generally not recommended, as they are regenerated by Nuxt. The approach described above provides a way to extend the configuration without directly modifying the auto-generated files.

@kapa.ai I believe you just described an other way of writing .nuxt/tsconfig.ts, but not a way to write .nuxt/tsconfig.server.ts
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

I apologize for the confusion. You're correct, and I appreciate your patience.
Currently, there's no direct way mentioned in the provided sources to extend the
.nuxt/tsconfig.server.json file specifically. The Nuxt documentation and other sources provided discuss extending the .nuxt/tsconfig.json file, but not the .nuxt/tsconfig.server.json file.
However, you can create a server/tsconfig.json file in your project root that extends the .nuxt/tsconfig.server.json file as mentioned in the Server Types (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/server#server-types) section of the Nuxt documentation:
This won't affect the type checking (nuxi typecheck), but it should provide better type hints in your IDE.
If you need to modify the server TypeScript configuration specifically, I would recommend reaching out to the Nuxt community or checking the official Nuxt documentation for more information.

@kapa.ai if you add compilerOptions.paths inside /server/tsconfig.json it overwrites the other paths instead of adding them. So unfortunaly that does not work. Thanks for recommendation to reach out for the community, but I believe this discord server is the community...

I apologize for the confusion earlier. You're correct that adding
compilerOptions.paths inside server/tsconfig.json would overwrite the existing paths instead of adding to them. Unfortunately, based on the provided sources, there doesn't seem to be a direct way to extend the .nuxt/tsconfig.server.json file without overwriting the existing paths.
The Nuxt documentation and other sources provided discuss extending the .nuxt/tsconfig.json file, but not the .nuxt/tsconfig.server.json file. The server/tsconfig.json file mentioned in the Server Types (https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/server#server-types) section of the Nuxt documentation is intended to improve type hints in your IDE, but it doesn't affect the actual server TypeScript configuration used by Nuxt.
If you need to modify the server TypeScript configuration specifically, it might be necessary to modify the Nuxt configuration or use a Nuxt module that allows more control over the TypeScript configuration. However, this would likely require more advanced customization beyond what's covered in the provided sources.
I recommend checking the official Nuxt documentation or reaching out to the Nuxt community on platforms like GitHub or Stack Overflow for more specific guidance. I apologize for any confusion and appreciate your understanding.

You may be able to push files at build time using hooks. I guess it could work... Let me know if the idea helps βΊοΈ
Maybe even amend the generated file.
