It would be great to not have to reference a static path like this:

@olexandr-mazepa it is a bad practice to import from a publish package from a static path. The reason this is a bad pattern is because the directory structure of a package is an implementation detail that should only be known to the publisher of the package, thus, it can change at any time. The published directory structure is not part of the public API of a package, that is why the main and types properties exist in the package.json, to point the resolution engine (common.js, esm, etc.) to the file that should be imported.

I’ve just merged the PR and published a new version on npm. So that you can use version 5.0.0 to be able to use the new approach for importing types.
