Update package.json types to reference index.d.ts
See original GitHub issueCurrently index.ts is being used as types in package.json which is causing compiler errors when upgrading to newer versions of typescript (since it tries to compile the entire package instead of just referencing the types). I think this could be resolved by generating an index.d.ts and referencing that instead.

The issue with the
index.tsfile is that if it fails to compile on newer ts versions, you can’t really fix those errors because it’s in the package source code.See source
With
index.d.ts, you’re just referencing the type declarations so ts won’t actually try to compile the source code and fail; any errors will be in the consuming/parent code using the package, if this makes sense.I think so!
