Answer 1

It depends on how and when you're reading "package.json". You can read it as file with NodeJS "fs" module at runtime, or just type const package = require("package.json").

In 2nd case Typescript will search it in root dir at compile time (refer to Typescript module resolution documentation).

You also can use "rootDirs" property instead of "rootDir" to specify array of root folders.
