Is there another way to distribute typings.d.ts?

See original GitHub issue

TypeScript as a dev dependency adds 33MB to node_modules. I want to support TypeScript, but I don’t want to add this weight to every Hyperapp install. Is there any way we can still distribute typings.d.ts without having TypeScript as a dev dependency on this repo?

What other options do we have?

@JorgeBucaran Hmm, I got a bit carried away and answered more than this issue. Sorry

Given the typings are to be maintained separately from the javascript (#494) they are so called ambient types like any others in definitetyped etc. As a TS user of the hyperapp lib I’d like them to be easily available and while that means having them in the main npm package I’d still accept them being available via adding @types/hyperapp as another dependency, especially as I believe @code will still find them anyway (if names are consistent).

@JorgeBucaran technically npx comes bundled with npm >= 5.2.0, which comes bundled with Node.js >= 8.2.0 🙄
