Re: relative imports to trpc.ts

@Nick Lucas
Let's assume for a second it were the case that it's something wrong with the setup.
How comes the type inference of

type AppRouter = typeof appRouter

type AppRouter = typeof appRouter

on the server side works as expected, regardless of relative / path alias import. But only upon client side import, the type isn't inferred properly anymore?

Is there any known project that uses different packages and path alias imports and still works that you could guide me to?

Solution

I finally discovered the root cause.
It's a typescript issue. By implication you can call this a setup issue. I stay humbled @Nick Lucas

Basically, using tsconfig

paths

paths

within the child packages in monorepos is a bad idea :/
The server/user.router.ts will use the client/tsconfig.json#paths for module resolution during the import from client/index.ts (in contrast to imports from within server/).

So, having a single

@/

@/

alias for the src/ dir of the current package seems impossible (unless you risk a merged type alias).

I'll update the PR and improve the description in FAQ/Troubleshooting. Sorry for the tumult.
