Provide a clear and explicit TypeScript pkg.types alternative, such as pkg.typescriptTypes

package.types, package.json types, types, typings, ts-types

Suggestion

It would be great if TS provided an additional alias for package.json's types/typings fields.

This new alias should make it clear it refers to TypeScript types, so that projects that provide more than one type system can avoid ambiguity.

A possible solution would be a new ts-types field.

Use Cases

See "Suggestion"

Examples

{
  "name": "my-library",
  "ts-types": "ts-types/index.d.ts"
}

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Beginne damit, zu prüfen, wie die Felder types und typings von package.json derzeit interpretiert werden, zusammen mit dem Abschnitt Common Feature Requests der FAQ. Definiere den vorgeschlagenen TypeScript-spezifischen Alias und seine Kompatibilität mit bestehenden Paketmetadaten; als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn ein abgestimmtes Design und eine Implementierung vorliegen, die anhand des package-resolution-Verhaltens validiert wurden.
