How do I add a raw JavaScript file to be processed by ng-packagr

[MahiK14]

Hello ,

I am facing the following error:BUILD ERROR
Could not resolve '../../code-editor/code-editor/wetty.js' from .ng_pkg_build/code-editor-module/ts/code-editor/code-editor/code-editor.component.js
Error: Could not resolve '../../code-editor/code-editor/wetty.js' from .ng_pkg_build/code-editor-module/ts/code-editor/code-editor/code-editor.component.js
at error (/Users/mahender/git/code-editormodule/code-editor-module/node_modules/rollup/dist/rollup.js:185:14)
at then.resolve

Wetty.js is simple js file.
How can I include external js files in the ng-packagr process?

That is not possible by TypeScript at the moment.

#540

@alan-agius4 it's incorrect that TypeScript doesn't support it. It just doesn't support allowJs and declaration at the same time.

However, after I managed to disable the declaration generation in ng-packagr(it's hardcoded), I still can't find the raw js module in output dir and errors prompt.

I think this might a ng-packagr issue to output the raw js module in the bundle.

As explained in the issue linked that’s why it’s not supported, ie: allowJS with declarations.

When generating a valid library you always need to generate declarations.

Blocked on Angular supporting TS 3.7, which addresses microsoft/TypeScript#7546

Am I interpreting correctly that the TS blocker is resolved now (from this)? And if so, is allowJs being considered for ng-packagr now?

It doesn't seem to work by default, but adding allowJs: true to https://github.com/ng-packagr/ng-packagr/blob/master/src/lib/ts/tsconfig.ts#L16 or to https://github.com/ng-packagr/ng-packagr/blob/master/src/lib/ts/conf/tsconfig.ngc.json makes it work

@alan-agius4 What prompted closing this PR? Should I be excited that it's going to work now? Disappointed that it never will? :)

[alan-agius4]

This should now work if you use Typescripts allowjs option.
