TypeScript: Specify a directory to look for module type definitions

问题

Heyho,

I want to use some javascript libraries in my typescript code for which there are no typings in npm. So I wrote the typings myself and put them in a definitions directory in my source tree. However, I could not get typescript to look in that directory for those modules.

My directory structure looks like this:

+-node_modules
| |
| +-moduleA
| |
| +-moduleB
|
+-src
| |
| +-definitions
| | |
| | +-moduleA.d.ts
| | |
| | +-moduleB.d.ts
| |
| +-ts
|   |
|   + ... all typescript code ...
|
+-tsconfig.json

I tried including the modules in the definitions-directory using

• include
• files
• typeRoots
• paths

However none of it worked.

Can somebody tell me, how to get typescript to include those typings?

PS: Why is the TypeScript module handling so complicated???

回答1:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "typeRoots": [
      "./node_modules/@types",
      "./some-custom-lib"
    ]
  }
}

the typeRoots string array is just for that. In addition to your regular "node_modules/@type", add a custom made typings folder.

回答2:

You can include them with the triple-slash Directives to direct the compiler to use them.

E.g. create an index.d.ts file and put it your definitions folder. There you can include every custom typing you made. It could look like this

/// <reference path="react.patch.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="custom-typings.d.ts" />

Inside the typings file the first line has to be

/// <reference types="nameOfIt" />

Then in your tsconfig.json you include them in the files field e.g.

"files": [
    "definitions/index.d.ts"
  ]
