I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
The reason it’s a compiler option is because it can slow down the compiler for large data. You might be better off using a codegen tool to generate the types for that large JSON file.
None of the predefined sections are relevant here.
I'm trying to get types from a JSON file using resolveJsonModule. I'm using VS Code to do everything here. My JSON file is 4.9 MB and 200k lines. When I try to inspect the result of require('./big-file.json), it says {}. But it works great for another smaller file, albeit a bit slow.
Not sure if this is relevant or not, but it also fails for this big file in quicktype and works for the slightly smaller file. I assumed they're using TypeScript's parser/compiler under the hood, which would explain it. If they're not, then maybe it's a Node.js limitation that it's coming across.
To be clear, the require call itself works fine and returns a valid JSON object. So it might not be a Node.js memory limitation issue. But it might be one if TypeScript is more than doubling the memory by all its type analysis, or by duplicating substrings, etc.
Just some thoughts. I have no idea what's going on. All I know is that I was hoping VS Code would analyze my JSON files for me, but it's only working on some files.
