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

Search Terms

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.

Comienza revisando cómo se interpretan actualmente los campos types y typings de package.json, junto con la sección Common Feature Requests de la FAQ. Define el alias específico de TypeScript propuesto y su compatibilidad con los metadatos existentes de los paquetes; se considerará terminado cuando haya un diseño acordado y una implementación validada frente al comportamiento de package-resolution.
