I was making my first typescript-node-express application.

To start with, I created my own tsconfig file which looks like

{

  compilerOptions: {

    target: es6,

    module: commonjs, 

    strict: true,

    baseUrl: ./,

    outDir: ./build,

    sourceMap: true,

    experimentalDecorators: true,

    emitDecoratorMetadata: true,

    importHelpers: true,

    types: [

      node

    ],

    typeRoots: [

        node_modules/@types

    ],

    include: [

      src/**/*.ts

    ],

    exclude: [

      node_modues

    ]

  }

}

And inside my src/app.ts I am initialising my express app

import * as express from express;



class App {



  constructor() {

    this.app = express();

  }



  //TODO: What is public app: express.Application

  public app: express.Application;



}



const app = new App().app;

const port = 4040;



app.listen(port, function() {

  console.log('Express server listening on port ' + port);

});

Now, When I do ts-node ./src/app.ts I am getting the following error

error TS5023: unknown compiler option 'include'.

error TS5023: unknown compiler option 'exclude'.

Can someone help me figure out why I am getting this error?
