The default
typeRoots
config looks within thenode_modules
directory, (specifically,node_modules/@types
) to resolve imports. This gives the impression that the contents of a customtypeRoots
directory are treated asnode_modules
packages, and therefore can make use of features likepackage.json
"exports"
field. However, this does not seem to be the case. I couldn't find it explicitly documented anywhere, but through trial and error it seems that they are actually treated as directory modules. Hopefully, adding a note to the documentation will save some time for others looking into this.
