# Bing Maps V8 TypeScript Definitions #



These are the official TypeScript definitions for the [Bing Maps V8 Web Control](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/mt712542.aspx). These can be used to provide intellisense and richer error catching functionality to your IDE.

**Note:** Due to popular demand, version 2.x now puts these definitions in a _**types**_ folder instead of a _**scripts**_ folder.



## How to get the definitions ##



**Use the NuGet Package**



Using the [Bing Maps V8 TypeScript Definitions NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.BingMaps.V8.TypeScript/) will make it easy to both add the definitions to your project and to also keep them up to date. 



If using Visual Studio, open the nuget package manager, select the Browse tab and search for "Bing Maps V8". This should reduce the list of results enough to fine the "Bing Maps V8 TypeScript Definitions" package. The owner of the package is bingmaps.



Alternatively, if you are using the nuget commandline:



```

PM>  Install-Package Microsoft.BingMaps.V8.TypeScript

```



**Install npm package**



Using the [Bing Maps V8 TypeScript npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bingmaps) is another easy way to add the definitions to your project and keep them up to date. 



```

npm install -g bingmaps

```

**Download definitions**



Simply press the download button for this repository. Unzip the downloaded file, and copy the _**types**_ folder into your project. Note that you will need to do this process again from time to time if you want to have the most recent definitions. This should only be needed if you want to use newer features or if bugs in the definitions have been corrected.



## Usage ##



If using Visual Studio, you can add a reference to the core Bing Maps V8 functionality by adding the following to the top of your TypeScript file. 



```

/// 

/// 

```



If you want to also use some of the Bing Maps modules, you can either update the above reference to the following:



```

/// 

```



or you can add a reference to the individual module definitions.

## Q & A ##

  - **A:** New features will be added to the definitions when they have graduated out of the experimental branch and into the main release branch of V8. This will often be done in parallel with MSDN documentation updates. A list of new features can be found in the release notes [here](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/mt770019.aspx).

- **Q: Whats the difference between version 1.x and 2.x?**

  - **A:** Version one put all the definitions in a _**scripts**_ folder while version 2.x adds them to a _**types**_ folder.
