Typescript error for glob types in v4

[vladshcherbin]

Hey,

Since v4 has types file inside, there is no glob types which is used inside.

When using v4 typescript gives you an error about this missing types. v3 had external types which installed glob types automatically and didn't give you an error.

Is this still a problem with v4.1.0? Ensure you use it like done here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/del/blob/master/index.test-d.ts

@sindresorhus yes, this also exists in 4.1.0

It happens because glob options are imported here, but glob itself doesn't have types inside, they have to be installed separately using @types/glob.

In v3, types were installed using @types/del which had a @types/glob dependency and installed types for you automatically.

So, I can think of 2 ways of solving this:

1. add @types/glob to dependencies of this package. This will install needed types automatically, but will install unnecessary types for non-TS devs.
2. move back to using @types/del. Using it will install glob types automatically and won't pollute non-TS devs dependencies.

I had same issue and conclusion after trying to add types to one of my packages. Chose 2-nd way since it doesn't add unnecessary type packages for non-TS devs. I guess, this is one of the reasons why @types repo is so popular and suggested in ts docs for non-ts package.

Hope this makes sense :)

Thanks for elaborating :)

Ups, my bad!

@BendingBender No worries. I missed it too. tsd should have caught it though... tsdjs/tsd#24
