TS6059

error TS6059: File ‘/root/project/packages/server/package.json‘ is not under ‘rootDir’ ‘/root/project/packages/server/src‘. ‘rootDir’ is expected to contain all source files.

Broken Code ❌

1

import pkg from '../../../../package.json';

Fixed Code ✔️

When using require then we can access files outside the specified root folder for input files (“rootDir” in “tsconfig.json”):

1

const pkg = require('../../../../package.json');
