Currently, I am working on a project that involves a nextjs frontend with TypeScript and AWS Amplify for the backend. My intention is to write my Lambda functions in TypeScript as well. However, I have encountered an issue where I have one tsconfig.json file in the root of my project (for nextjs) and another one in my Lambda function directory.
Here is how my file structure looks:
📦appchen
┣📦amplify
┃ ┗ 📂backend
┣ 📂public
┣ 📂src
┣ 📜package.json
┗ 📜tsconfig.json
The problem arises because TypeScript is searching for node_modules in the root directory of my project, which means I have to install dependencies in both my nextjs frontend and Lambda functions to avoid issues.
In my tsconfig files, the configuration is set up like this:
{
// Root tsconfig
}
{
// Function tsconfig
}
I have also attempted the default setup with a lib directory as mentioned in the official documentation, but the problem persists. Is there a way to make TypeScript utilize the node_modules in the functions src directory instead of the root directory? Can this be achieved with nested tsconfig files?
