Add the config you want to extend to your tsconfig.json, for example:
{ "extends": "@cprussin/tsconfig/base.json" }
Note that "noEmit": true is set by configs here. The intention is that most
of the case, you're type checking with typescript and distributed
untranspiled files, or that if you're transpiling then the transpilation
tools you're using will override that setting in their own configs as
needed. For instance, if you're using webpack, you could configure
ts-loader like this:
The base configuration that everything else extends from. Sets a bunch of
strict options such as "strict": true, "allowJs": false,
"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true, "noImplicitReturns": true, etc. If
you want to be as strict as I do and you aren't incrementally adding
typescript to a legacy project, you probably don't want to override most of
these options, but it might make sense to override the target or lib
options.
Note that no options are set for JSX or for DOM libraries. If you need any of
that, you'll want to use one of the configs that extends base.json instead
of using base.json directly.
This package contains a set of strict shared typescript configs.
Installing

base.json
The base configuration that everything else extends from. Sets a bunch of strict options such as

options.Note that no options are set for JSX or for DOM libraries. If you need any of that, you'll want to use one of the configs that extends
base.json
instead of usingbase.json
directly.dom.json
