# link-type-definitions
[](https://github.com/codejamninja/link-type-definitions)
> link type definitions
Link and use 3rd party typescript defintions without DefinitelyTyped.
I build this because it is not possible to use type definitions without copy pasting them to the `src/@types` folder or submitting a pull request (and getting it accepted) from DefinitelyTyped.
Please ★ this repo if you found it useful ★ ★ ★
## Installation
```sh
npm install -g link-type-definitions
```
## Dependencies
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org)
## Usage
You can manually setup the project to link type definitions, or you can use the cli to automate the setup..
### Setup your project
Navigate to the root of your project and run the following command.
```sh
link-type-definitions setup
```
This will add the following to your _package.json_.
_package.json_
```json
{
"scripts": {
"postinstall": "link-type-definitions link"
},
"devDependencies": {
"link-type-definitions": "^0.2.5"
},
"linkTypeDefinitions": []
}
```
You may need to reinstall your dependencies after running the setup.
```sh
npm install
```
### Install npm modules that contain type definitions
```sh
npm install --save-dev
```
### Link the modules types
Note that the module must be added to the package.json `dependencies` or `devDependancies` before linking its type definitions. Use the `-S` flag if you want to add the linked dependencies to the _package.json_.
```sh
link-type-definitions -S
```
