      "path": "./"
    },
    {
      "name": "🖥️ example app",
      "path": "./apps/example-app"
    }
  ],
  "settings": {
    "files.exclude": {
      "node_modules/": true,
      "libs/": true,
      "tools/": true,
      "apps/": true
    }
  }
}

Create a tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",

        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "strict":true,
        "declaration": true,
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "noImplicitThis": true,
        "noImplicitReturns": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "target": "es2018",
        "lib": ["es2018"],
        "sourceMap": true,
        "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
        "skipLibCheck": true
    }
}

      "packageName": "example-app",

        "summary":"runs unit tests in each project",
        "enableParallelism": false
