Is it possible to declare references to *.d.ts files only in tsconfig.json, not in *.ts files?

I found that awesome-typescript-loader fails on compiling *.ts files without special reference comments to external modules, but tsc command works well in this situation.

I assume that this is probably because I moved all references to tsconfig.json and for some reason awesome-typescript-loader doesn't use them.

If you need repro you can grab this repo https://github.com/Den-dp/webpacked-typescript-demo and run npm start to install all deps and run webpack.

Compilation with tsc works fine (even with commented reference https://github.com/Den-dp/webpacked-typescript-demo/blob/master/src/app.ts#L1 ), but compilation with webpack gives me the following error:

Am I missing something?

@Den-dp thanks for you report. Right now the loader fetches only compiler options from tsconfig.js. This is because it's webpack job to find all the references and dependencies. But I think, that the loader possibly can fetch also all the .d.ts files without any harm. I'll implement this soon.

@s-panferov Thanks for the quick response! It would be great to add this kind of functionality and I hope it's possible.

Thanks for your time

@Den-dp sorry for the delay, landed in v0.12.0
