Using JSON

With TypeScriptToLua, it is possible to import JSON files.

TypeScript needs the --resolveJsonModule option to be true to do this.

This transforms the .json and .ts file involved into a Lua format. The JSON's contents are also type checked with the project before being transformed.

This can be useful for configuration files.

{
    "debug": true
}

import * as config from "./config.json";

if (config.debug) {
    enableDebuggingConsole();
    player.hp = Infinity;
}
