What is @types/webpack-sources?

This package helps developers by offering type safety and autocompletion features when working with webpack-sources in a TypeScript environment.
What are @types/webpack-sources's main functionalities?
Type Definitions for Source Manipulation
Provides TypeScript types for creating and manipulating source code in webpack. This example shows how to create a new RawSource object and retrieve its content.
import { Source, RawSource } from 'webpack-sources';
const source: Source = new RawSource('const x = 123;');
console.log(source.source());
Type Definitions for Source Map Handling
Enables handling of source maps with proper type definitions. This example demonstrates creating a SourceMapSource object with a source map.
import { SourceMapSource } from 'webpack-sources';
const source: SourceMapSource = new SourceMapSource('const x = 123;', 'x.js', '{"version":3,"sources":["source.js"],"names":["x"],"mappings":"AAAA"}');
console.log(source.map());
