Replaces require to npm module

[she11sh0cked]

Given the following typescript file...

// file: src/index.ts

import graphql from "graphql";

import typeDefs from "./graphql/typeDefs";

export { graphql, typeDefs };

with the following tsconfig...

// file: tsconfig.json

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

tsc-alias modifies the imports like so:

// file: src/index.js

"use strict";
var __importDefault = (this && this.__importDefault) || function (mod) {
    return (mod && mod.__esModule) ? mod : { "default": mod };
};
Object.defineProperty(exports, "__esModule", { value: true });
exports.typeDefs = exports.graphql = void 0;
//!!! orig: const graphql_1 = __importDefault(require("graphql"));
const graphql_1 = __importDefault(require("./graphql"));
exports.graphql = graphql_1.default;
const typeDefs_1 = __importDefault(require("./graphql/typeDefs"));
exports.typeDefs = typeDefs_1.default;
//# sourceMappingURL=index.js.map

I guess the require('graphql') is modified because there is a folder called "graphql" in src/ right? Is there a way to prevent paths to npm packages from being modified?

Here is a repo containing a jest test for this: https://github.com/she11sh0cked/tsc-alias-issue

This problem is because of issue #63
This shouldn't happen if the graphql directory doesn't have a index file.

[she11sh0cked]

The graphql directory does in fact not have a index file.

pr #72 should add the functionality to disable the BaseUrl replacer with a simple tsconfig option.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
  },
  "tsc-alias": {
    "replacers": {
      "BaseUrl": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

I don't think just disabling baseUrl replacements would be a proper solution, that means we can't use it without defining path aliases right? Could we instead add an option to ignore some folders in the outDir ? in this particular case it would be the "graphql" folder
