Troubleshooting : Type an untyped module #254
Conversation

Hey @sw-yx, Is there a problem with my code formatting? I made sure to follow all the necessary steps. It will be great if you could review the changes I made and point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance! |

@arvindcheenu this looks like a good start! what about typing a React library that exports components or hooks? |
docs/basic/troubleshooting/types.md
Outdated
| * Add the `declare` syntax for your desired module, say `my-untyped-module`– to the declaration file. | ||
| ```ts | ||
| // inside typedec.d.ts | ||
| declare module "my-untyped-module" |

TIL that you can just do this without braces! Does it resolve every import to any?

@ferdaber you can easily do away with every untyped import by declare module '*'. Saves many lines of declare code but too hacky for my taste.

Most of the hooks I use are either typed or custom made. So, I haven't encountered this problem yet.. I'll try to come up with some solution. Coz, it is gonna happen someday and I want to be ready for it.

yup. ive done it 3-4 times but had to look it up every time. i shouldve taken the hint and put it in the cheatsheet!

Woah, awesome stuff. We can add the lines 11-26 from your gist as an example for creating types for class components as a quick reference. This will also gel well with the previously stated troubleshooting steps.

So, reviewing all that's been discussed, the hierarchical focus of topics in the troubleshooting section for this would be:
Working with Untyped Libraries
- The Lazy Way
- Using
declare module "*"
- Using
- The Hard Way
- With Hooks
useDarkMode()example with explanation
- With Components
RR6example [11-26] with explanation
- With Hooks
@sw-yx, Is this right or am I missing anything?
