remote-ts

Why?

I had a project which required types from another project. So I created this simple CLI tool to copy the types from the other project to my project. It works by copying the types from the other project to a .remote-ts folder in my project. Enjoy. 😊

Usage

1. Write the import path to the TS file you want to import Make sure the import path is a relative path to .remote-ts which would be generated after running the CLI.

import { myTSVariable } from "./.remote-ts/my-private-project/path-to-file.ts";
//       ^? string

console.log(myTSVariable); // "Hello World!"

Run the CLI to copy the code from your my-private-project folder to your project.

npx remote-ts sync

This library requires you to have all of your personal code projects in individual folders all under a root projects folder. If you haven't run the CLI before, it will ask you where your collection projects are located, and this is how it will infer to your projects.
