    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides high quality TypeScript type definitions for JavaScript libraries and modules.
    • Enables type safety and improved developer experience by supplying accurate typings for packages without built-in TypeScript support.
    • Use for adding type definitions to JavaScript libraries lacking native TypeScript support to enable static type checking.
    • Use for contributing or maintaining community-driven type definitions to keep typings up to date with library changes.
    • Use for testing and validating TypeScript typings locally before publishing or using them in projects.

    From the README

    The repository for high quality TypeScript type definitions.

    You can also read this README in Español, 한국어, Русский, 简体中文, Português, Italiano, 日本語 and Français!

    Definitely Typed has recently changed to a proper pnpm monorepo; you may want to reread this document for changes to the layout of packages in this repo.

    At the very least, you may want to git clean -fdx the repo (or node ./scripts/clean-node-modules.js on Windows) to clean up node_modules and run pnpm install --filter . to install the workspace root. See further sections for more info on pnpm install.

    This section tracks the health of the repository and publishing process. It may be helpful for contributors experiencing any issues with their PRs and packages.

    If anything here seems wrong or any of the above are failing, please let us know in the Definitely Typed channel on the TypeScript Community Discord server.
