A base TSConfig for working with Node with TypeScript (TS >=5.8 ONLY).

Add the package to your "devDependencies":

npm install --save-dev @tsconfig/node-ts
yarn add --dev @tsconfig/node-ts

Add to your tsconfig.json:

"extends": "@tsconfig/node-ts/tsconfig.json"

This base require TypeScript 5.8+ (See announcement)

This file is meant to be used in conjunction with other Node.js configurations, you can do so by extending multiple files in the extends clause of your tsconfig.json:

{
  "extends": ["@tsconfig/node22/tsconfig.json", "@tsconfig/node-ts/tsconfig.json"]
}

The tsconfig.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://www.schemastore.org/tsconfig",
  "docs": [
    "https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-5-7/#path-rewriting-for-relative-paths",
