Write JS Config

The JDito process structure with modularized processes does not work out of the box with a standard jsconfig.json.
The Write JS Config tool generates a working jsconfig.json file from a jsconfig.template.json by:

  • analyzing your NPM dependencies,
  • collecting all ADITO dependencies, and
  • writing a suitable paths section and other configuration options into the resulting jsconfig.json.
tip

Run this script regularly, especially after changing dependencies, to keep the paths section of your jsconfig.json up to date.

Always review the generated jsconfig.json to ensure it matches your expectations.

How it runs​

This tool is executed as a postinstall script of the devtools module.
You can also run it manually via an NPM script.

Add the script to package.json​

To run it manually, add the script createJsconfig with any name you prefer to your package.json:

package.json
"scripts": {
  "create Jsconfig from devtools": "createJsconfig"
}

Using an existing jsconfig.json as template​

If you already have a jsconfig.json, you can use it as the template:

  1. Rename your existing jsconfig.json to jsconfig.template.json.
  2. Run the createJsconfig script.

All contents of jsconfig.template.json are copied into the generated jsconfig.json, and the tool adds or updates the paths section based on your dependencies.
