How do I specify the main entrypoint for a typescript pulumi program? I tried setting the

main

option in the config but this changes the whole directory, which I don’t want (as then e.g. my

tsconfig.json

also has to live in that directory, etc.) I just want to put my

.ts

files under

src

to reduce the clutter in the project. Using

"main": "src/index.ts"

in

package.json

seems to work but that’s rather non-standard, isn’t it?

As far as I know, the

main

option in the config really does expect the code to be in the same directory (it's following where

Pulumi.yaml

is, if I remember correctly). I'm double-checking to find out if there's a different way.

I’ve set it up where I have

Pulumi.yaml

(and associated stack config files) in the root directory, and set the

main:

option in

Pulumi.yaml

to point to a subdirectory. however, Simon is right that the

tsconfig.json

, etc, would all be in the subdirectory. I think that ultimately this is just the same way you would configure a typescript program. I haven’t played with this yet, but perhaps this is a path to success? https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig#rootDir

@agreeable-eye-87399 It’s the former, as I have some auxiliary code there

That all can happen in one repo. That's sorta how the

main:

pattern works. I am actually working on some docs and a blog post about this. I'll get you some examples tomorrow if that's okay? I'm heading to dinner now :)

Sure, I think I get how the “main” thing works--however it’s a common practice in typescript to have a

src

folder under which your

index.ts

and other code lives. That doesn’t seem possible with pulumi.
