Typescript Types missing in the npm package

[bpasham]

Seems like types are well created but doesn't seem to be included in the npm package. Including them will help a lot of folks who are struggling to use this package in Typescript projects.

Also Thank you for all the hard work you put into this project.

You are right. We also should update the types first, since they were merged/copied from upstream and are missing some methods from this fork.

How do I get and use the typings file? I see they exist, but if I try copy+paste the code over into an index.d.ts file, TS just complains that it is not a module.

File '.../jspdf-yworks/index.d.ts' is not a module.

Edit: Found the solution. Change:

declare module 'jspdf' {
    // ... Interfaces ...
    class jsPDF { ... }
    namespace jsPDF { }

    export = jsPDF;
}

To:

declare namespace jsPDF {
    // ... Interfaces ...
    class jsPDF { ... }
}
export = jsPDF;

Update: This solves any issues thrown by typescript, but fails in actual use. Likely because it's no longer a module that exports an actual class. I know nothing of creating Typings files, and only have a basic knowledge of producing typesafed code, so this is honestly all trial and error.

TypeError: jspdf_yworks__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_5__.jsPDF is not a constructor

Great you found the solution. A release where the types are included in the npm package is already in the pipeline.
