I am trying to import a text file into my TypeScript file and then print its contents.
index.ts file:
import d from "./a.txt";
console.log(d);
txt.d.ts file:
declare module "*.txt" {
const value: string;
export default value;
}
tsconfig.json file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "system"
}
}
package.json file:
{
"name": "test",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"tsc": "tsc",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"typescript": "^3.0.1"
}
}
However, I encountered this error:
tsc "index.ts"
index.ts:1:15 - error TS2307: Cannot find module './a.txt'.
1 import d from "./a.txt";
