Have a look on this How to import all modules from a directory in TypeScript?

The way you are trying is not possible.

Answer 2

You can use fs.readdirSync to read the contents of a directory.

Example:

import fs from "fs"

let images = fs.readdirSync("../../images")

console.log(images)
/* Example output
["sun.png", "stars.jpeg", "icon.psd"]
*/
