While many developers assume that
baseUrl
is a requirement to usepaths
, that hasn't been the case for a few years (see this pull request here).Using
baseUrl
isn't recommended because it allows developers to accidentally resolve directly via thebaseUrl
overpaths
. Additionally, the TypeScript team plans to deprecatebaseUrl
in 6.0, with no support in 7.0 (the native port of TypeScript).This PR removes usage of
baseUrl
intsconfig.json
files and removes recommendations of it from the documentation.
