Comment

The TypeScript documentation example for configuring paths in tsconfig.json has a typo involving missing {parentheses}. The issue can be found in the following code snippet:

Steps to Reproduce:
TypeScript - Paths

Corrected:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "app/*": ["./src/app/*"],
      "config/*": ["./src/app/_config/*"],
      "environment/*": ["./src/environments/*"],
      "shared/*": ["./src/app/_shared/*"],
      "helpers/*": ["./src/helpers/*"],
      "tests/*": ["./src/tests/*"]
    }
  }
}

I don't see any parentheses in the corrected form, nor do I believe parens are legal here. I can't see a difference between the screenshot and the text -- can you clarify?

Well, If you see thoroughly you can notice three (3) ending parans in the corrected code, however, in the typescript original docs on the above image I captured has only two (2) ending parans. which I ran and giving me error (Expected comma or closing brace)

original :

{  **<---- 1**
  "[compilerOptions](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#compilerOptions)": { **<---- 2**
    "[paths](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#paths)": { **<---- 3**
        "app/*": ["./src/app/*"],
        "config/*": ["./src/app/_config/*"],
        "environment/*": ["./src/environments/*"],
        "shared/*": ["./src/app/_shared/*"],
        "helpers/*": ["./src/helpers/*"],
        "tests/*": ["./src/tests/*"]
    },  **<---- 1**
} **<---- 2**

here you are missing clossing paran,

Corrected:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "app/*": ["./src/app/*"],
      "config/*": ["./src/app/_config/*"],
      "environment/*": ["./src/environments/*"],
      "shared/*": ["./src/app/_shared/*"],
      "helpers/*": ["./src/helpers/*"],
      "tests/*": ["./src/tests/*"]
    }
  }
}
