@types/which

What is @types/which?

The @types/which package provides TypeScript type definitions for the 'which' npm package. 'which' is a utility that locates and returns the path to an executable in the system path, similar to the Unix 'which' command. The @types/which package does not contain functionality itself but provides type definitions to help TypeScript developers use the 'which' package with type safety.

What are @types/which's main functionalities?

Type definitions for finding an executable in the path

This code sample demonstrates how to use the 'which' package with TypeScript type definitions provided by @types/which. It attempts to locate the 'node' executable in the system path and prints its location or an error if not found.

import which from 'which';

which('node', (err, resolvedPath) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Node executable not found');
    return;
  }
  console.log('Node executable located at:', resolvedPath);
});

Other packages similar to @types/which

find-exec

find-exec is a package that provides similar functionality to 'which', allowing users to find the path of executables in the system path. Unlike @types/which, find-exec does not require separate type definitions as it may already include TypeScript support or be used in a JavaScript context.

locate-path

locate-path is another package that helps in finding paths of files or directories based on given criteria. While it serves a broader purpose compared to 'which', it can be used to achieve similar results. It differs from @types/which in that it is not specifically focused on executables and does not provide TypeScript types out of the box.
