TypeScript is quietly killing baseUrl (and most people haven’t noticed yet)

If you’re seeing this warning:

Option 'baseUrl' is deprecated and will stop functioning in TypeScript 7.0

Yeah… it’s real.

For years, we’ve been doing this 👇

{
  "extends": "@workspace/typescript-config/bun.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}

But TypeScript is moving away from module resolution hacks.

💡 The shift
TypeScript no longer wants to resolve your imports.

👉 Your runtime / bundler should do that (Bun, Vite, Next, etc.)
👉 TypeScript should just type-check

✅ The simple fix
Just remove baseUrl.

{
  "extends": "@workspace/typescript-config/bun.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
    }
  }
}

⚡ Why this matters

• Future-proof (TS 7 won’t break you)
• Cleaner separation of concerns
• Matches modern tooling direction
