I have seen this and this posts and they have made me understand tsconfig.app.json and tsconfig.json.
I have an angular app which has tsconfig.app.json, tsconfig.json and tsconfig.spec.json
What is the role of tsconfig.spec.json? What does the 'spec' in tsconfig.spec.json stand for?
It is TypeScript configuration for the application tests.
For example below code you says
"types": ["jasmine", "node"]
I will use jasmine for testing on nodejs environment.
{
"extends": "../tsconfig.json",
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "../out-tsc/spec",
"module": "commonjs",
"target": "es5",
"baseUrl": "",
"types": [
"jasmine",
"node"
]
},
"files": [
"test.ts",
"polyfills.ts"
],
"include": [
"**/*.spec.ts",
"**/*.d.ts"
]
}
