Configuration Files

JSILc allows you to control translation of your applications and libraries by providing one or more JSIL Configuration Files with the extension .jsilconfig.

Where JSILc finds configuration files

• JSILc will automatically load any .jsilconfig files you pass it on the command line and apply them to all files translated during that session.
• JSILc will search next to each .sln file translated for a matching .jsilconfig file: Foo.sln.jsilconfig. This configuration file will affect only that solution and its outputs.
• JSILc will search next to each .exe or .dll file translated for a matching .jsilconfig file: Foo.dll.jsilconfig. This configuration file will affect that assembly and its dependencies. Note that this only works for assemblies being translated directly; you cannot set per-assembly configuration for dependencies.

Configuration file format

A configuration file is a single JSON dictionary. The dictionary can contain the following setting keys:

Key	Type	Default Value	Description
ApplyDefaults	Boolean	true	If true, the default project settings will be applied from defaults.jsilconfig. Note that default project settings never override settings you have specified yourself.
