What is types-registry?
The types-registry npm package is a registry of TypeScript declaration file packages published on npm. It is used to manage and provide type definitions for JavaScript libraries, enabling developers to use TypeScript's type-checking features with those libraries.
What are types-registry's main functionalities?
Accessing Type Definitions
This feature allows you to access the list of all type definitions available in the registry. The code sample demonstrates how to require the types-registry package and log the available type definitions.
const typesRegistry = require('types-registry');
const types = typesRegistry.entries;
console.log(types);
Querying Specific Type Definitions
This feature allows you to query specific type definitions by package name. The code sample shows how to access the type definitions for the 'react' package.
