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.

Inizia esaminando come vengono attualmente interpretati i campi types e typings di package.json, insieme alla sezione Common Feature Requests delle FAQ. Definisci l'alias specifico per TypeScript proposto e la sua compatibilità con i metadati dei package esistenti; il lavoro sarà considerato completato quando saranno disponibili un design concordato e un'implementazione convalidata rispetto al comportamento di package-resolution.
