Typescript compiler error when importing json file
Use var instead of import.
var json = require('./calls.json');You're loading a JSON file, not a module, so import shouldn't be used is this case. When var is used, require() is treated like a normal function again.
If you're using a Node.js definition, everything should just work, otherwise require will need to be defined.
TS 2.9 added support for well typed json imports. Just add:
{ "compilerOptions": { "resolveJsonModule": true }}in your tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json. Now imports such as:
import json = require('../static/calls.json');and
import * as json from '../static/calls.json';should be resolved and have proper typings too!
Another solution is to change data.json to data.ts and export like this
export default { "key" : { ... }}and import as you would expect:
import { default as data } from './data'
