Description
I am looking for a way to download the types definitions for my dependencies of my project.
The idea is:
- I am working working with docker on Mac host so my package are installed inside them
- I do not need (and I cannot because some packages don't install corectly on Mac) to download the wholes packages module .
- I need typing of packages on my host to have good dev experience.
Because package.json have a types fields I suppose there is a way to only download them but no luck to find how.
