fix: Avoid deckgl v8 type errors - #351

Walkthrough

The pull request adds TypeScript module resolution configuration to packages/kepler/tsconfig.json, introducing baseUrl and paths mapping to enable aliasing for @deck.gl/core/src/* modules. The existing outDir setting is retained with minor syntax adjustments.

Poem

🐰 A path declared, an alias born,
TypeScript's routes now reformed,
No runtime fears, just mapping neat,
Module resolution, fast and sweet!
baseUrl hops, the config's done,
Type-checking happiness for everyone! ✨

_{✏️ Tip: You can configure your own custom pre-merge checks in the settings.}

6-12: Fragile multi-level node_modules paths — consider a comment explaining the rationale.

The triple relative-path fallback (../../, ../../../, ../../../../) is a pragmatic workaround for monorepo hoisting uncertainty, but it's brittle — if nesting depth changes or the package manager's hoisting strategy shifts, resolution will silently fail. Consider adding a brief comment in this file (or linking the relevant deck.gl issue) so future maintainers understand why these paths exist and when they can be removed (e.g., after upgrading to deck.gl v9).

Also, if only one of these paths is actually needed in your current setup, trimming the others would reduce confusion.

#!/bin/bash
# Check which node_modules path actually contains `@deck.gl/core/typed`
fd -t d "typed" --full-path "@deck.gl/core" -E dist
