How to configure react-script so that it doesn't override tsconfig.json on 'start'

Question

I\'m currently using create-react-app to bootstrap one of my projects. Basically, I\'m trying to set up paths in tsconfig.json by adding these to the default ts

Answer 1

Create React App does not currently support baseUrl. However there is a workaround...to setup baseUrl for both webpack and the IDE you have to do the following:

1. Create a .env file with the following code:

NODE_PATH=./

2. Create a tsconfig.paths.json file with the following code inside:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

3. Add the following line to tsconfig.json

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.paths.json",
  ...
}
