title: How to use multiple tsconfig files in vs-code?
body: <p>I am using Visual Studio Code and have a fairly common project structure:</p>
  
  <pre><code>├── client/
  │   ├── tsconfig.json
  ├── shared/
  ├── server/
  │   ├── tsconfig.json
  ├── project.json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The two tsconfig files have different settings (e.g. the one under <code>client/</code> targets ES5, the one under <code>server/</code> targets ES6). Note that there is no tsconfig in the root directory.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I want the shared directory to be included in both projects. I can't do this using tsconfig because the <code>exclude</code> option won't let me include a folder that is in a higher directory than the tsconfig.json, and using <code>files</code> I have to constantly keep the list of files up to date as it doesn't support globs.</p>
  
  <p>Note that I can compile fine by adding the shared folder into tsc, what I want is for the Visual Studio Code IDE to recognise the shared code for intellisense etc.</p>
  
  <p>Is the only option to wait for <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/1927" rel="noreferrer">filesGlob</a>?</p>
