The manager for TypeScript definitions.

# Install Typings CLI utility.
npm install typings --global

# Search for definitions.
typings search tape

# Find ambient definitions (includes DefinitelyTyped in lookup due to --ambient flag).
typings search react --ambient

# Install ambient typings (and persist selection in `typings.json`).
typings install react --ambient --save

# Use `main.d.ts` (in `tsconfig.json` or as a `///` reference).
cat typings/main.d.ts

• Package manager parity
  • Familiar commands like init, install, rm and ls
  • Support for installation of type definitions based on the true version number of the package you are using. (Rather than on a SHA hash as with TSD.) Read more.
• Installation from GitHub, BitBucket, NPM dependencies, Bower dependencies and HTTP(s)
  • If a project uses Typings, you can install it locally - try typings install npm:popsicle
• Simple typings configuration file
  • Persist dependencies in typings.json and everyone on the project can replicate it
• Name-spaced dependencies (not for ambient dependencies - those are always global)
  • TypeScript definitions will be name-spaced and contained from leaky type information

Typings is the simple way to manage and install TypeScript definitions. It uses typings.json, which can resolve to GitHub, NPM, Bower, HTTP and local files. Packages can use type definitions from various sources and different versions, and know they will never cause a conflict for users.

typings install debug --save

A public registry is maintained by the community, and is used to resolve official type definitions for JavaScript packages.

Typings supports configuration using rc. The config options can be set using CLI arguments, environment variables prefixed with typings_ or a .typingsrc file.

• proxy A HTTP(s) proxy URI for outgoing requests
• httpProxy The proxy to use for HTTP requests (default: process.env.HTTP_PROXY)
• httpsProxy The proxy to use for HTTPS requests (default: process.env.HTTPS_PROXY)
• noProxy A string of space-separated hosts to not proxy (default: process.env.NO_PROXY)
• rejectUnauthorized Reject invalid SSL certificates (default: true)
• ca A string or array of strings of trusted certificates in PEM format
• key Private key to use for SSL (default: null)
• cert Public x509 certificate to use (default: null)
• userAgent Set the User-Agent for HTTP requests (default: typings/{typingsVersion} node/{nodeVersion} {platform} {arch})
• githubToken Set your GitHub for resolving github: locations
• registryURL Override the registry URL
• defaultSource Override the default installation source (E.g. when doing typings install debug) (default: npm)
• defaultAmbientSource Override the default ambient installation source (E.g. when doing typings install node -A) (default: dt)
