How to get the version from the package.json in Typescript?

Question

I have found this Q&A.

I have tried to get the version from the package.json using:

import { version } from './package.json';

but it results in:

package.json' has unsupported extension. The only supported extensions are '.ts',
'.tsx', '.d.ts'.

If you are are in a commonJS environment, why not simply use

const pj = require('./package.json')
console.log(pj.version)

EDIT

Since you seem to be using webpack, just add the appropriate loader

   module: {
    loaders: [
        ...
        {test: /\.json$/, loader: 'json-loader'},
        ....

which obviously you need to install using npm install
