💡 Support `jsconfig.json` for import path aliases by default #787

Suggest an idea for this project

You say "Knip has good defaults and aims for “zero config”". Then it is worth recognizing the jsconfig.json file by default in addition to tsconfig.json, since it is quite common and supported by many IDEs.^stack-overflow

Just wondering, why is the lack of support an issue for you?

I think the main (and only?) benefit is compilerOptions.paths, right?

Well, I would like everything to work without additional settings. And it seems to me that path aliases are a fairly common setting in large projects.
