Using package.json as a module in TypeScript

If you want to get a value like the version info from package.json, this is what to do.

Add resolveJsonModule config to tsconfig.json.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    ...
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  }
}

Import package.json in your ts file.

import { version } from 'package.json';
