Missing TypeScript declaration file

See original GitHub issue

Version

3.x.x (Vue 3.x)

Describe the bug

I’m not being able to make the typings work on .ts files, the following errors are being shown:

Visual Studio Code 1.62.0:

"Could not find a declaration file for module '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms'."

IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2:

TS2307: Cannot find module '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms/dist' or its corresponding type declarations.

Using npm run serve command (on a new scaffolded vue project):

TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms'. 'H:/hello-world/node_modules/@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms/dist/as-dynamic-forms.cjs.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm i --save-dev @types/asigloo__vue-dynamic-forms` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms';`

Describe the bug

Scaffold a new Vue 3 project with Vue CLI: vue create hello-world with TypeScript feature
Run npm install @asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms.
Create a main.ts file if not exist.
Add import { createDynamicForms } from '@asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms' to main.ts file.

Expected behavior

The IDE can recognize the typings of imported modules from @asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms on TypeScript files.

FWIW, I was seeing this until I added declarations to my main.ts as described in https://github.com/asigloo/vue-dynamic-forms/issues/235, as well as the “failed to resolve component” described in the ticket. The ts error went away and everything started working after I made those updates.
