What to do if there is no @types for react package?

Question

typescript

Hello ladies and gentlemen.

Ripe question. I'll start with an example to make it clear what I'm talking about.

In a project using TS, for example, I use axios, install it via npm (npm install axios) and then install a dependency with @types to use axios with TS.

So the question is, is it possible to somehow use the same axios in a project with TS, if it did not have the ability to drop the dependency? (i.e. there would be no way to add the @types package).

There is just a situation: there is a package that seems to be necessary for me, everything is installed on react, but not for TS. He asks to add @types for the package, but as you understand it is not there)

Is it possible to get around this somehow?

PS I hope that those who read this will understand what I mean.

Answer 1

In this case, you will need to create a *.d.ts file yourself and include it in tsconfig.json
