I have following structure

└───src ├───external │ └───lib └───App ├───Class 

src/external/lib/ contains 2 files, lib.js and lib.d.ts.
In src/App/Class/Class.ts I am importing ../../external/lib/lib and it works fine, but generates following structure:

└───dist └───App ├───Class 

With JS files in dist/App/Class. My config is:

{ "compilerOptions": { "module": "commonjs", "sourceMap": false, "target": "ES5", "noImplicitAny": true, "outDir": "./dist", "rootDir": "./src" }, "files": [ "src/main.ts" ] }

So I thought what rootDir property should solve this problem and transfer entire structure to dist folder. Am I doing something wrong?
