Fine with me, but do we have a TypeScript-authoritative answer? Especially @types/node
is tricky, because the actual type will not depend on the package version that we pick, but on the actual Node runtime. Is peer dependency perhaps an option?
In Comunica, we also always include types as actual dependencies. For things such as @types/node
, we use the version *
range, so that the dep will always be available, but downstream users can still choose what version they use.
If I install the
asynciterator
package in a new node project, then methods like.on
are not shown in my type hints because TypeScript cannot guess the type ofEventEmitter
whichAsyncIterator
extends.@types/node needs to be added as a dependency to resolve this (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45176661/how-do-i-decide-whether-types-goes-into-dependencies-or-devdependencies) - otherwise users of the AsyncIterator package need to install @types/node themselves
