How to Use the tsconfig.json Generator — WebdevToolbox Guide

Generate a tsconfig.json for Node.js (CommonJS/ESM), React/Vite, or library projects with real, recommended compiler option combinations.

Getting module, moduleResolution, and target to actually agree with each other in a tsconfig.json is a common source of confusing TypeScript errors. This tool builds a correct, environment-matched starting config instantly.

What Is the tsconfig.json Generator?

Pick your project type — Node.js (CommonJS or ESM), React/Vite, or a publishable library — and get a tsconfig.json with real, recommended compiler option combinations matched to how that environment actually resolves modules.

How to Use It

  1. Open the tool at /tools/tsconfig-generator.
  2. Choose your project type, target ECMAScript version, and whether to enable strict mode.
  3. Copy the generated tsconfig.json into your project root.

Key Features

  • Four environment presets with correctly matched module/moduleResolution pairs.
  • Strict mode toggle, TypeScript’s recommended bundle of stricter type checks.
  • Library preset adds declaration/declarationMap for publishable packages.
  • Live JSON preview with copy-to-clipboard.

When to Use This Tool

  • Starting a new TypeScript project without hunting through docs for the right module settings.
  • Fixing confusing “cannot find module” errors caused by mismatched module resolution settings.
  • Setting up a library package that needs to ship type declarations.

Try It Now

Open tsconfig.json Generator directly, or press ⌘K and type the tool name from anywhere on the site.
