sourceTypes doesn't work with module entrypoints.

[MattGson]

sourceTypes fails to find any types unless the exact file that contains the type declaration is specified.

i.e.

Structure:

 moduleOne/
     index.ts -> exports from modelOne and modelTwo
     modelOne.ts
     modelTwo.ts
    ...

Config:

sourceTypes: {
        modules: [
            {
                module: path.join(__dirname, 'moduleOne/index.ts'),
                alias: 'moduleOne',
            },
           ...
        ],
    },

This fails to recognise any source types.
But if index.ts is changed to modelOne.ts then the types from modelOne work as expected.

This means that unless all types/models are stored in a single file (who does that???) then we have to manually specify every model file. This gets very laborious when we have hundreds of files.

Try:

{
        alias: 'models',
        module: path.join(__dirname.replace(/\/dist$/, '/src'), './moduleOne/index.ts'),
        typeMatch: type => [new RegExp(`(${type.name}[ ,]+)`)], // Note: This will match any declared type in models if the name matches
      },

That is what I do for my projects and it works well.

@Sytten I am doing something similar but unless I misunderstand, the type name must still exist in index.ts?

As in:

// index.ts
 export * from './modeOne.ts'

will not work but:

// index.ts
 export { modelOne } from './modeOne.ts'

works fine.

Ideally I would be able to use barrels like the first example.

Its a dumb text regex search so no, the star export won't work :s
