So the code is simple:
calls.json
{"SERVER":{
"requests":{
"one":"1"
}
} }
file.ts
import json = require('../static/calls.json');
console.log(json.SERVER);
the generated javascript is correct and when running the node js server, the console log json.SERVER prints '{ requests: { one: '1' } }', as it should.
The typescript compiler (commonjs) however, somehow does not particularly like this situation and throws: "Cannot find module '../static/calls.json'".
Ofcourse I tried writing a .d.ts file, like this:
declare module '../static/calls.json'{
var exp:any;
export = exp;
}
this then obviously throws: "Ambient module declaration cannot specify relative module name".
I also tried different variants, like:
declare module 'calls.json' {
import * as json from '/private/static/calls.json';
export = json;
}
and then requiring:
import json = require('calls.json');
None work properly and have their own little compiler errors :)
I want to use an external .json file because I use commonjs serverside and amd clientside and I want a single file for loading constants.
Use var instead of import.
var json = require('./calls.json');
You're loading a JSON file, not a module, so import shouldn't be used is this case. When var is used, require() is treated like a normal function again.
If you're using a Node.js definition, everything should just work, otherwise require will need to be defined.
