I have chosen to follow KCD advice and solution: https://egghead.io/lessons/remix-integrate-typescript-into-a-remix-loader-function.

The ☝️ above article by Francisco didn't seem to work.

I'm currently typing braindumps.list.$braindumpId.tsx. I am finding it hard to find the type defs for pages and blocks for a Notion page.

I am thinking it might be easier just using the typings library that has already been created.

I was having an issue extending the types of a library.

• This helped me better word my issue..
• This gave me the declare module syntax. It did, however, send me down the wrong path w/r/t typeRoots.
• This is a great rundown of what I minus. It doesn't mention that you must import the library you are extending into the .d.ts namespace.
• This provided the missing point of importing the library you are extending into the extending, overriding .d.ts namespace:.
• This was sort of unrelated but it gave a really exhaustive explanation of what was happening here.

"SOLUTION" In the end I didn't have to do much. I didn't add a typeRoots field in my tsconfig. I just created a typings directory and added a .d.ts file of the same name of the library that I wanted to extend.
