importing non JS files in Google Firebase Functions typescript project

I am working on a Cloud Functions project initialized with Firebase SDK. I chose typescript as a language. I would like to import a non js, non ts file as a string, using import syntax. For example:

import * as content from './templates/text.md'

But obviously, I get an error:

error TS2307: Cannot find module './templates/text.md'.

How should I configure my project (.d.ts files? tsconfig.json? something else), so that it compiles correctly.

For reference of how the project is initialized with Firebase SDK: https://firebase.google.com/docs/functions/get-started

You can't import something that doesn't parse as JavaScript. Instead, if you want to get the contents of some other file, you should read it with something like readFile().
