TypeScript Configuration

chant projects use a standard tsconfig.json for TypeScript configuration.

Basic tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2022",
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "strict": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  },
  "include": ["src/**/*"]
}

Recommended Settings

strict: true

Enables all strict type-checking options. chant resource definitions benefit from strict mode because it catches:

• Missing required properties on resources
• Incorrect property types
• Null/undefined assignment errors

moduleResolution: "bundler"

The bundler resolution mode (TypeScript 5.0+) works well with chant because it supports package.json exports fields and extensionless imports.

Editor Integration

With tsconfig.json configured, your editor provides:

• Autocomplete for resource property names
• Type errors for invalid property values
• Go-to-definition navigation into lexicon type definitions
• Hover documentation for resource types
