protobuf.js VS DefinitelyTyped

> Can I just open an issue in the TypeScript repo for this sort of thing if I have a concrete suggestion?

My former colleague Arthur has already answered this one - but yes! If you have a concrete suggestion, that's fair game and we can brainstorm on the issue to think of something. We might not come up with something general enough to implement, but it's often a good seed to plant.

I am curious to hear what sort of issue you ran into. Was this the Apollo fork (https://github.com/apollographql/protobuf.js), or the original?

Prior to React 18, it used to include an implicit children prop, making it suitable for components expected to have children. For a long time, though, the implicit children prop type has been removed according to React 18's type changes.

Additionally, because TypeScript has a well established and widely used install-base, there are already many different definition files in the wild for supporting non-TypeScript supporting projects. One of the more extensive collections of these typings lives at the DefinitelyTyped repository, which publishes the package's community typings under the package names @types/your-package-name (where your-package-name is the name of the project you're looking for typings of) that you can look for on your package manager.

Their type definition for HAR request isn't exported https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/mast...

type NumberOrString = number | string; type Status = "idle" | "loading" | "success" | "failure" // React useState, can receive a value or a function as parameter to serve as initial value. // https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/a03856975a17eba524739676affbf70ac4078176/types/react/v17/index.d.ts#L920 function useState(initialState: S | (() => S)): [S, Dispatch>];

The TypeScript pull request was merged, so Sebastian (who helps maintain the React type definitions) exercised new powers in this pull request to the DefinitelyTyped repository for the React type definitions. At the time of writing, this pull request is still open, but once merged and shipped the React community we will feel its benefits.

Relatively infrequently. Normally, if an npm package is popular and doesn’t have its own types, there will be a community provided types declaration file available from https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped
