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.

Commencez par examiner comment les champs types et typings de package.json sont actuellement interprétés, ainsi que la section Common Feature Requests de la FAQ. Définissez l’alias spécifique à TypeScript proposé et sa compatibilité avec les métadonnées de package existantes ; le travail sera considéré comme terminé lorsqu’un design convenu et une implémentation validée par rapport au comportement de package-resolution seront disponibles.
