Typescript compiler error when importing json file

Question

So the code is simple:

calls.json

{\"SERVER\":{
    \"requests\":{
      \"one\":\"1\"
    }
} }

file.ts

import jso         


        

Answer 1

As of Typescript 2.9 you can import JSON file natively without any additional hack/loader needed.

The following excerpt is copied from said link above.

...TypeScript is now able to import JSON files as input files when using the node strategy for moduleResolution. This means you can use json files as part of their project, and they’ll be well-typed!

./src/settings.json

{
    "dry": false,
    "debug": 

./src/foo.ts

import settings from "./settings.json";

settings.debug === true;  // Okay
settings.dry === 2;       // Error! Can't compare a `boolean` and `number`
