Angularfire: I don't have a tsconfig.json file

[rwillmer]

Following https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/1-install-and-setup.md, and I get to

``
"3. Include Firebase SDK typings"

In your tsconfig.json file include the following line in your "files" array:
``

I've installed this on a new clean machine following the instructions and I don't have a tsconfig.json.

Does this mean I should create this file in the root directory? Let's say so unambiguously if so. If not, where do I find this or how do I generate it?

Are you using the Angular CLI?

Yes

Then I'm not sure what's going on because the CLI should generate the tsconfig.json file for you. But you can write tsc --init and that will generate one for you.

If you see an issue with tsc make sure to install typescript npm install -g typescript.

I'll run it again from scratch and see if anything is different

I thought it was missing too - turns out angular-cli puts tsconfig.json in the src directory and I was looking in the root.

@mattwilson1024 Good to know! I'll be explicit about this in the quickstart.

@rwillmer Does this help you?

@mattwilson1024 thanks!
@davideast yes it does
