Config file doesn't work with .ts imports

[himat]

I tried to run npx slonik-typegen generate --config typegen.config.ts
but it failed with Error: Cannot use import statement outside a module

It seems like I can only use .js files for the config?

But I need to use a ts import because I want to load my db connection to pass for the poolConfig option.

typegen.config.ts

import * as dbConn from "./src/dbConnection";

...

So is this not possible to do?

You would have to use something like ts-node to make this work. typegen.config.js would still need to be js, but if you add require('ts-node/register') at the top you should be able to require typescript files after that. So your typegen.config.js would look something like this:

require('ts-node/register')
const dbConn = require('./src/dbConnection')

/** @type {import('@slonik/typegen').Options */
module.exports.default = {
  pool: dbConn.getPool(),
  ...otherOptions
}

Edit: if using commonjs you'll probably need to stick to require not import in typegen.config.js. But you might have some luck by naming it typegen.config.mjs and be able to use import that way. I haven't tried that yet.
