values wrongly initialize in dts when importing json
having the following config:
import { defineConfig } from 'tsup';
export default defineConfig({
clean: true,
dts: true,
entry: ['src/index.ts'],
format: ['esm', 'cjs'],
platform: 'node',
sourcemap: true,
target: 'es2022'
});and this (example) typescript code:
export { default as whatever } from './whatever.json';
export function something(): boolean {
return true;
}tsup adds the following to the declaration files when exporting a json file in one of the ts files:
var whatever = [
"whatever json values the file has"
];
// other dts values (which are correct)
declare function something(): boolean;
export { something, whatever }this makes typescript throw Initializers are not allowed in ambient contexts. ts(1039)
the solution would be to actually resolve the json type (just like how plain typescript does under resolveJsonModule) and type it as such
for example:
declare const whatever: string[];
declare function something(): boolean;
export { something, whatever }another solution would be to just use valid dts syntax, this would be easier to implement as tsup wouldn't have to resolve the json type, but it would increase filesize
declare const whatever: [
"whatever json values the file has"
];
declare function something(): boolean;
export { something, whatever }
