Minimal example with node and typings

.gitignore

typings
app.js

README.md

Here's a minimal TypeScript project using typings to manage 3rd party modules.

When editing the app.ts file in Visual Studio Code I get all that nice code completion. And tsc app.ts will compile without complaints.

app.ts

/// <reference path="typings/main.d.ts" />

import * as os from "os";

console.log(`Your tempdir is at: ${os.tmpdir()}`);

tsconfig.json

{}

typings.json

{
  "version": false,
  "ambientDependencies": {
    "node": "github:DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/node/node.d.ts#513510a89acc648422c9abb047265116198f99ee"
  }
}
