1. Linking libs with tsconfig paths. This approach involves setting a tsconfig.json paths object which maps the package name, to the local filesystem location. Eg. "paths": {"@org/lib":"../libs/lib"} - Nx uses this approach for their Integrated Monorepo configuration https://nx.dev/tutorials/integrated-repo-tutorial https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo.

FYI I tried renaming packages/bar/index.ts to index.js and adding allowJs: true in its tsconfig.json and tsconfig.build.json and everything works as expected.

Give https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo a try :) It uses path aliases to map your imports to the source code inside the monorepo.

Make sure you've copied the jest craco config and that you've set up path aliases accordingly.

You can check https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo.

FWIW https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo works in a similar way by using path aliases instead. The result is the same (imports resolve to monorepo source code), but this approach doesn't prevent you from publishing any of the packages (check the repo and the linked docs for more details).

You didn't give an example of how your imports look, but I'm assuming you're trying to use absolute imports for the lib files like from 'lib/src/...'. Project references don't rewrite the imports in any way, they just optimize the builds by caching referenced projects. You'll want to use path aliases instead. Feel free to check out https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo for full examples.

You can use two tsconfig.json files and in one of them configure path aliases to map your package names to the source code, effectively "overriding" package.json#main. You can find examples here https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo.

Here is one I liked that is very basic, although I removed lerna from it personally. Shows examples of package sharing and a bunch of popular libraries. Next not nuxt but you get the idea. https://github.com/NiGhTTraX/ts-monorepo
