When working on my project's type declaration file, I encountered a dilemma with using Axios types as part of my own types. The issue lies in the fact that all declarations for Axios are exported from their official repository.
I specifically need to incorporate AxiosResponse and AxiosError in my declaration file, but there isn't a separate set of @types available for Axios. Even with meticulous configuration in my tsconfig.json, the compiler doesn't automatically recognize these types due to the exhaustive export nature of the Axios declaration file.
Below is a snippet of my tsconfig:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2017",
"outDir": "dist/main",
"rootDir": "src",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"module": "commonjs",
"declaration": true,
"inlineSourceMap": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
...
"lib": ["es2017"],
"types": ["axios"],
"typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types", "types", "node_modules"]
},
"include": [
"src/**/*"
],
"exclude": [
"./test/**/*"
]
}
The main goal here is to have access to Axios interfaces for accurate type validation within my codebase.
