Custom TypeScript plugin to generate a dynamic type registery for a factory method

[semiaddict]

Hi,
I am trying to generate a dynamic type definition for a factory method.

Here's a bit of context:

This is in a large project that is structured into small modules.
A module service exposes the method "useModule", which accepts a module identifier as a string.
At the moment, each time I call this method I need to explicitely tell TypeScript which module it is with something as this:

import type MyModule from "@/modules/my-module";
const module = useModule("my-module") as MyModule;

I would like to dynamically generate a type file with a registery of all available modules and use it in the module service to automatically infer the return type of "useModule" from the module id.

I have tried creating a custom TypeScript plugin and add it to "tsconfig.app.json" or "tsconfig.json" as followes, but the plugin doesn't seem to be called:

"compilerOptions": {
    "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "./typescript/plugins/ModuleRegisteryPlugin.ts"
      }
    ]
  }

#483 seems to indicate that confmlicts can occur between various plugins, but there are no other plugins defined in my tsconfig.json, and vue-tsc --showConfig doesn't show any other plugins.

Am I doing something wrong?
Or is there a better way of dealing with my issue?

Thank you very much in advance.

It seems that local TS plugins cannot be loaded.
See microsoft/TypeScript#43124.
I managed to get my plugin to load using the workaround described in microsoft/TypeScript#43124 (comment).
