can't use page.solveRecaptchas() or any other puppeteer-extra functions with TypeScript. Should we document this?

Hi,

If you can’t use any puppeteer-extra-specific function (e.g. page.solveRecaptchas), please add the following to your tsconfig.json:

    "include": [
        "./node_modules/puppeteer-extra/*.d.ts",
        "./node_modules/puppeteer-extra-*/*.d.ts",
        "./src"
    ]

Your code needs to be located inside ./src. Adding the include property in your tsconfig.json will ignore the existing exclude property.

It will include “ambient” typescript files so that the TypeScript compiler (and langage server) can resolve puppeteer-extra types.

I am not sure why I had to do this. Here is my whole tsconfig.json for reference purposes:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "target": "ES2020",
        "strictFunctionTypes": true,
        "moduleResolution": "node"
    },
    "include": [
        "./node_modules/puppeteer-extra/*.d.ts",
        "./node_modules/puppeteer-extra-*/*.d.ts",
        "./src"
    ]
}

I can create a wiki page if you think that it is appropriate, let me know and I’ll resort to my best english skill to create it 😃.

@berstend Added some info on adding to ambient types:

Nowadays, I resort to massive use of // @ts-ignore, mostly because I’m too lazy to find the root cause.

Je t’en prie, non!! 🙈
