I have to directories /src/server and /src/client for the backend and frontend code.



In the backend I want to target my .ts sources to es2017 javascript. In the client I want to target the .ts sources to es5. How can I indicate that to the Visual Studio Code?



I try to put two different tsconfig.json in each directory. But the Visual Studio Code only takes the root tsconfig.json.
