How to prevent the tsc compiler from making a copy of a file with a .js extension?

Question

typescript

I need to call one ts file, but at the same time I need to specify a property that forbids creating, the file that was created during the compilation process, i.e. was customConfig.ts , after calling it with tsc , I got customConfig.js, in the same file directory, what property should be set to tsc when compiling so that it doesn't create customConfig.js?! Thanks

tsc is a transpiler. His job is to compile TypeScript to JavaScript, but no more. If you just want to run TypeScript right away, for example for development, then you can use ts-node . Also, if it annoys you that the name is in the same directory, then through tsconfig you can specify the output directory, where the js files will be located.
