Unable to include .key file in typescript build
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have a public.key and private.key file in my folder structure that is not being included in the build ie, when I run tsc.
I am using the public/private key pairs to generate a json web token.
This is how i am importing the file which works fine and generates the token.
private publicKey = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, "../../utils/keys/public.key"), "utf8");
Same code applies for the private.key just with the filename change.
This is my tsconfig.json file
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"target": "es6",
"noImplicitAny": false,
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
"outDir": "dist/",
"pretty": true,
"baseUrl": ".",
"alwaysStrict": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"paths": {
"*": ["node_modules/*", "src/*", "*"]
}
},
"include": ["src/**/**/*.ts"],
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
Is there a way I ask typescript to include the *.key file?

TypeScript transpiles *.ts* and *.js* files. This isn't a task for TypeScript to process non-script files and include them into a build.
Bundling is a task for Webpack, which can be used to load arbitrary files with respective loaders, e.g. file-loader, but files are expected to be used with import or require in this case and not fs. Also isn't necessary to use Webpack with Node.js applications because they don't benefit from this that much as client-side applications.
In this case keys shouldn't be a part of dist at all, unless proven otherwise. It can reside outside of src or dist and be on the same level of nesting:
dist
...
src
...
util
keys
Since relative paths are expected to be same within both src and dist, there should be no problems linking to util/keys

that sounds great but the problem arises when I'm trying to deploy on heroku, I need to run agit push to herokuwhich will do annpm installl and then runtscto transpile the files tojsand runs the server, Now in order for the server to generate token It would need the keys, how do I handle something like that on heroku? Environment variables?

I'm not sure what the problem is. Just commit key files to the repo. You have other files besidessrc/distthat are needed for the app to run, likepackage.json. Key files are among these files.

Yep just tried it, works perfectly, thank you so much. Is there a better way of deploying private keys to heroku ie, should they be converted to a string and used as an env variable?

Giad it worked. This depends on how private these private keys are. I don't use Heroku myself but yes, environment variable is a good place to store things you don't want to commit, especially if a key is a string. In this case you may want to read a key fromprocess.envfirst before tryingfs.readFileSync
