What is @types/node?

The @types/node package contains TypeScript type definitions for Node.js. It provides TypeScript interfaces and types for Node.js modules, allowing developers to use TypeScript's static type checking with the Node.js runtime environment. This helps to catch errors at compile time and provides better editor support with features like auto-completion and inline documentation.

What are @types/node's main functionalities?

File System

Type definitions for the File System module allow developers to work with the file system using TypeScript, with methods for reading, writing, and manipulating the file system.

import * as fs from 'fs';

fs.readFile('/path/to/file', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(data);
});

HTTP Server

Type definitions for the HTTP module enable developers to create HTTP servers and clients with TypeScript, handling requests and responses with proper type annotations.

import * as http from 'http';

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello World\n');
});

server.listen(3000);

Events

Type definitions for the Events module provide types for event handling, allowing developers to work with event emitters and listeners in a type-safe manner.

import { EventEmitter } from 'events';

const eventEmitter = new EventEmitter();

eventEmitter.on('myEvent', (arg) => {
  console.log(`Event fired with argument: ${arg}`);
});

eventEmitter.emit('myEvent', 'Hello Event!');

Streams

Type definitions for the Streams module help developers to work with Node.js streams, providing types for readable, writable, duplex, and transform streams.

import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as stream from 'stream';

const readStream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/file');
const writeStream = fs.createWriteStream('/path/to/destination');

readStream.pipe(new stream.Transform({
  transform(chunk, encoding, callback) {
    // Transform the chunk to uppercase
    callback(null, chunk.toString().toUpperCase());
  }
})).pipe(writeStream);

Child Processes

Type definitions for the Child Processes module allow developers to spawn or execute new processes, providing types for handling the output and errors.

import { exec } from 'child_process';

exec('ls -lh /usr', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(`exec error: ${error}`);
    return;
  }
  console.log(`stdout: ${stdout}`);
  console.error(`stderr: ${stderr}`);
});
