Who's "they"? typings is a third-party tool not developed by the TypeScript team.
- k__ 10y agoyes. but it was used in tutorials by MS so it seemed like a de facto thing...
- DanRosenwasser 10y agoTo clarify what Ryan's getting at, the TypeScript community has started moving to Typings, but there were still issues and pain points that we needed to address to avoid common problems. While we did write tutorials using Typings, that content will change to use npm by our next release. Our guides are pragmatic, and are meant to get you working with TypeScript today. Making users use nightly releases would've been a major pain.
- k__ 10y agoNo offense. I just started using typescript and the the tuts already weren't up to date, which let me believe typings is the "new" way. I met the pains you talk about and think npm is the right way :)
