javascriptnode.jstypescriptredistsconfig

Error TS18028 while compiling ts to js, tsconfig is almost empty

I initialised a TS package with no preset.

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["node"]
  }
}

dev command

"dev": "tsc-watch --noClear index.ts --outDir ./ --onSuccess \"node ./index.js\""

Everything was going well until I installed the redis package. After that I started to have this error.

error TS18028: Private identifiers are only available when targeting ECMAScript 2015 and higher.

And can't understand how to resolve it. No changes to the tsconfig did anything.

Solution

  • Fixed it this way

    dev command

"dev": "tsc-watch -p ./tsconfig.json --noClear --outDir ./ --onSuccess \"node ./index.js\"",

    tsconfig.json

{
  "files": ["index.ts"],
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["node"],
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "CommonJS"
  }
}
