[ts] Could not find a declaration file for module 'sp-rest-proxy'. about sp-rest-proxy HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @dudi44,

Thanks for posting the question.

@types/* namespace belongs to DefinitelyTyped project. It's a collection of types declaration for different popular JavaScript libraries the authors of which do not provide typings on they own. Such typings are supported with the community fellows and the declarations are usually outdated, as any changes to a library require updating and publishing typings definitions.

Libraries created using TypeScript, on the other hand, usually include types declarations together with the package itself and are always up to date.

sp-rest-proxy is written in TypeScript. But, in the early days, it was in ES6 and used module.exports which was kept for backward compatibility then migrating to TypeScript. So there is a small nuance using typings - import should be from sp-rest-proxy/dist/RestProxy to include typings:

import RestProxy, { IProxySettings } from 'sp-rest-proxy/dist/RestProxy';

const settings: IProxySettings = {
  configPath: './config/private.json'
};

const restProxy = new RestProxy(settings);
restProxy.serve();

Added a section in README.md.

Hi @koltyakov,

Thank you for very quick response!

The above workaround works fine. However I needed also run npm i @types/express --save as
Could not find a declaration file for module 'express'. in .../node_modules/sp-rest-proxy/dist/interfaces/index.d.ts

so closing the issue
