What is the purpose of jsconfig.json?

  • As the name suggests, it is used in javascript project.
  • It's usually located at the root of the project.
  • It tells the editor(like VS Code) how to handle intellisense, auto completion and path aliasing.
  • It is a descendent of tsconfig.json file - configuration file for typescript.
  • Path aliasing defined here in this file won't impact the build. For that, you need to configure your bundler(like Webpack, vite, etc...) separately.
