Typings is a CLI package manager for installing and managing TypeScript type definition files. It is deprecated in favor of npm's @types packages introduced with TypeScript 2.0.
Use cases
- install typescript type definitions for a library
- manage .d.ts files for a typescript project
- search for typescript typings by name
- install typings from a specific github commit
- pin type definition versions in typings.json
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy TypeScript 1.x project that already uses typings.json
- you need a definition only available through the typings registry and not on npm @types
When to avoid
- starting any new TypeScript project - use npm install @types/<package> instead
- you are on TypeScript 2.0 or later, where @types is the official mechanism
- you want actively maintained tooling - the project is deprecated
