tsdm

No worries TypeScript definition manager.

* experimental

Why?

• No dependency on DefinitelyTyped GitHub repo. No PRs to send. No PRs to accept.
• ... and no custom registries either. Everything is in NPM.
• No fear of hitting GitHub rate-limit.
• No need to commit typings/** or full of opaque hashes tsd.json.
• No /// <reference path="..."/>s all over your code.
• No special <insert your definition manager>.json. package.json is all you need.
• Easy version management.
• One responsibility - wiring type definitions in. Installation, shinkwrapping, etc. is all offloaded on to npm.
• Nothing to learn. If you know how to use npm - you're pretty much all set.

Installation

npm install -g tsdm

Usage

For any package that doesn't come with typings out-of-the-box use npm to install external definition (e.g. npm install --save-dev ...). After that - run tsdm rewire. That's it.

npm i retyped-react-tsd-ambient --save-dev && tsdm rewire

NOTE that compilerOptions.moduleResolution has to be set to node (in your tsconfig.json)

Most (if not all) DefinitelyTyped typings are available through retyped. npmsearch is an excellent place to find many more.

If you need a quick way to add declaration for the module that doesn't yet have definition available on npm you can add it to <project root>/.tsdm.d.ts. This is meant a temporary solution only. Please consider contributing missing typings back to the community.
