.tsx support

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I’m trying to run emerge against a big React app codebase. python emerge.py -c frontend.yml

project_name: frontend

  export:
  - directory: <some-project-path>/frontend
  - graphml
  - dot
  - json
  - tabular_file
  - tabular_console_overall
  - d3

I’m getting tons and tons of messages:

.tsx is an unknown extension, ignoring `/<edited>/src/Issues/Issues/Issues.tsx`

Pretty much the whole app gets skipped and not mapped.

Describe the solution you’d like I’d like to be able to analyze a codebase that contains tsx which are essentially jsx with Typescript.

Given the size of our app, the ability to visualise it and check in an interactive way, would be an immense help.

@glato using aliases is quite a common thing in bigger JS projects. I will see if I can find some examples to help with testing

@glato that would be awesome!

I have found a couple of projects that might be handy:

Typescript only: tsx, ts https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-realworld-app https://github.com/HospitalRun/hospitalrun-frontend https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/

More known, mixed language types: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/tree/main/packages https://github.com/getsentry/sentry

Javascript js, jsx:

• https://github.com/bbc/simorgh (check src folder)
• small: https://github.com/oldboyxx/jira_clone/

Of course, I’m happy to help with testing on our codebase, we have a fairly big app (~5000 ts/tsx files), I cannot share as it’s a private repo.

Let me know if that’s enough 😃
