TypeScript: How to setup external module type definition like @types

In the following section in the TypeScript guide explaining how to apply d.ts file that’s you have already.

But person who are familiar Node.js’s npm package like me, execute command like npm install -D @types/react and then get type definition file from DefinitelyTyped.

As a one of React/Node.js developer, current manual seems like unclear to get type definition file of external modules.

I think it’s better if the manual is covering that concern clearly.

Thank you. 🤗

The issue is tagged as help wanted to indicate that the community could contribute to making the documentation more clear by adding to the TypeScript FAQ section.

There is this section which talks about CDNs that can provide types automatically.

A more clear FAQ though could provide both pieces of information at the same time, noting that most code target for Deno is either written in TypeScript or automatically provides its types, so the type acquisition is really the concern when trying to leverage code written for Node.js or on npm.
