TypeScript declarations are incorrect

[kendfrey]

There are multiple issues with the TypeScript declarations.

1. TypeScript does not recognize any of the properties of Board and Coordinate.

import { Board } from "godash";
const board = new Board(19);
console.log(board.dimensions); // Property 'dimensions' does not exist on type 'Board'.

2. Importing the module does not import the types. The types only work when separately imported from godash/types/board and given different names.

import { Board } from "godash";
const board: Board = new Board(19); // 'Board' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here. Did you mean 'typeof Board'?

I've never used TypeScript, but I'm open to fixing this eventually when I have a bit more time to figure out the ecosystem.

Alternatively, feel free to submit an PR.

@kendfrey I wrote TypeScript declarations about 1 year ago and I tested at that time it didn't have any problem. Maybe it have aome changes that make declarations failed, I will check it if I have time. Or you can help to fix it, thanks very much.

It'd be nice if this also included some automation to catch these kinds of issues.

hi everyone, I was trying to use the godash lib inside an angular 19 web app and see there's a problem with the Move class/type definition, but I managed to fix it by adding a line inside godash const declaration in types/index.d.ts file:

declare const godash: {
    BLACK: typeof BLACK;
    WHITE: typeof WHITE;
    EMPTY: typeof EMPTY;
    Board: typeof Board;
    Coordinate: typeof Coordinate;
    Move: typeof Move;
...

the Move type needs to be also added to the imports from './board' :)
