Typings

The manager for TypeScript definitions.

Updating from 0.6 to 0.7? Make sure you rm -rf typings/ and re-install them, the directory structure has changed.

Quick Start

# Install Typings CLI utility.
npm install typings --global

# Search for definitions.
typings search tape

# Find an available definition (by name).
typings search --name react

# Install typings (DT is "ambient", make sure to enable the flag and persist the selection in `typings.json`).
typings install react --ambient --save

# Use `main.d.ts` (in `tsconfig.json` or as a `///` reference).
cat typings/main.d.ts

Features

• Package manager parity
  • Familiar commands like init, install, rm and ls
  • Support for installation of type definitions based on the true version number of the package you are using. (Rather than on a SHA hash as with TSD.) Read more.
• Installation from GitHub, BitBucket, NPM dependencies, Bower dependencies and HTTP(s)
  • If a project uses Typings, you can install it locally - try typings install npm:popsicle
• Simple typings configuration file
  • Persist dependencies in typings.json and everyone on the project can replicate it
• Name-spaced dependencies (not for ambient dependencies - those are always global)
  • TypeScript definitions will be name-spaced and contained from leaky type information

Usage

Typings is the simple way to manage and install TypeScript definitions. It uses typings.json, which can resolve to GitHub, NPM, Bower, HTTP and local files. Packages can use type definitions from various sources and different versions, and know they will never cause a conflict for users.

typings install debug --save

A public registry is maintained by the community, and is used to resolve official type definitions for JavaScript packages.
