Additional context or description

I'm trying to get typescript project linking in place in our monorepo, and I struggle a bit.

I primary use this guide to do the migration:
https://nx.dev/technologies/typescript/recipes/switch-to-workspaces-project-references

which specifies that ts libraries tsconfig.json, tsconfig.lib.json and tsconfig.spec.json should extend the tsconfig.base.json.

However when looking at this page: https://nx.dev/concepts/typescript-project-linking
it says that tsconfig.lib.json and tsconfig.spec.json should extend the project's tsconfig.json instead.

What is correct?

Hi @jvskriubakken, the individual tsconfig.lib.json, tsconfig.spec.json, etc. should extend from the base tsconfig.base.jsonin the new TS setup. So, this page has incorrectextends`: https://nx.dev/concepts/typescript-project-linking

We'll fix it.
