Plugin fails to read tsconfig.json with comments

[tkodev]

While it is not standard practice to have comments in json files, the typescript website and many project boilerplates include comments in their tsconfig.json. These comments are usually there to describe what the tsconfig.json properties do, and the parsers for tsc and other tools seem to support them.

Is this something this plugin can look into?

Confirm same issue here: tsconfig.json: Unexpected token / in JSON at position XX

As a temporary workaround I used npm package: jsonc-require. Add this dependency into your package.json

In you babel.config.js:
Add first line require('jsonc-require');

If someone has time for it - please create a PR for this repo - line with require should be added to the file: babel-plugin-tsconfig-paths/lib/opts.js

Hey guys, sorry this fell through the cracks. I haven’t been getting notifications from this repository for some reason. I will fix that.

Thanks for the suggestion, @pmunin. That seems like a reasonable solution. Should be able to implement quickly
