title: Is it possible to include a json file when using TypeScript with a tsconfig.json file?
body: <p>Is there any way to have the TypeScript compiler also copy content files that don't have a ts or tsx extension to the output directory?</p>
  
  <p>For example, my tsconfig.json looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "compilerOptions": {
          "module": "commonjs",
          "target": "es6",
          "noImplicitAny": false,
          "sourceMap": true,
          "outDir": "../../dist",
          "types": [
          ]
      },
      "include": [
          "file1.ts",
          "config.json"
      ],
      "exclude": [
          "../../node_modules"
      ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like the <code>config.json</code> to end up in my ../../dist directory, but this isn't happening. Is there no concept of a content file for TypeScript?</p>
