Removing file extensions on import

Is there a deno.json configuration to make so that the file extensions are not needed when importing stuff? Deno should have enough context when importing files (unless they have the same name), so it makes sense to me

you can use the --unstable-sloppy-imports flag; we dont recommend to do this unless really needed (ie moving over a node project)

meh, I just generated a the project .tsx? it is then wait, why is that unstable?

crowlKats•3mo ago

because we want people to avoid using it

Sun「無用」OP•3mo ago

what, why? is there any major problems on it?

you can read a bit more on it here: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/reference/cli/unstable_flags/#--unstable-sloppy-imports

still a bit lost on it, but it's something you just accept, ig

It's just bad practice and some unnecessary overhead

Sorry to necro bump here. I have configured an import map to import a local, non distributed node package (designed for npm context, we are just prototyping new apps with Deno). The import is to a barrel export that does not have file extensions on all t he exports. It looks like this:

export * from './src/types/modelTypes'
export * from './src/answers'
export * from './src/changelogs'
...

export * from './src/types/modelTypes'
export * from './src/answers'
export * from './src/changelogs'
...

It looks like the Deno language server cannot properly resolve these imports without attaching the .ts extension to each of the barrel exports. This is not an option for us as this package is being used elsewhere and should not be modified for this particular use. How can I make the Deno language server correctly resolve this import? I basically need to solve this problem in a way that assumes I am not in control of the node package I'm trying to import
