Be able to use workspaces dependencies and tsconfig paths in contentlayer.config.ts

[gustaveWPM]

Hello.

I think it would be great to be able to use workspaces and Typescript paths related dependencies in contentlayer.config.ts.

For instance, if I try it in my tailwind.config.ts

// tailwind.config.ts
import { buildPathFromParts } from '@repo/shared-lib/str';
console.log(buildPathFromParts('hello', 'world'));

All works as intended.

But if I do the same in contentlayer.config.ts

Then, I get an error:

ConfigReadError (/home/me/Delivery/project/contentlayer.config.ts): Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/home/me/Delivery/project/node_modules/@repo/shared-lib/str' imported from /home/me/Delivery/project/.contentlayer/.cache/v0.3.4/compiled-contentlayer-config-KYFR5QIE.mjs
ConfigReadError (/home/me/Delivery/project/contentlayer.config.ts): Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/home/me/Delivery/project/node_modules/@repo/shared-lib/str' imported from /home/me/Delivery/project/.contentlayer/.cache/v0.3.4/compiled-contentlayer-config-KYFR5QIE.mjs

It's quite annoying because I can't do anything other than imports with absolute or relative paths. I can't use the paths in my tsconfig.json, and I can't use some of my third-party libraries, unless I adapt them entirely and have to write everything in relative or absolute path in them too.

EDIT: maybe it's related to ESBuild?

Hi, I have met a similar issue. Do you find any solutions?

[gustaveWPM]

no, sorry. This is very tedious.
