AutoTypes tool

A reaaaaally simple tool to perform an otherwise manual task: checking if there are typings in the @types npm organization and adding them to your project.

How to use it

1. Install globally

    yarn global add autotypes
   

   or

    npm i -g autotypes
   

2. Go to your project root and run

    $ autotypes
   

NOTE: it will install ALL types found. No questions asked!

You can also pass the path to a project or a package.json. But keep in mind that yarn will ALWAYS be run from the folder where the package.json is.

Pro Tip

In a typescript project, everytime you install a new package, you need to check if types exist in that package. You can combine autotypes with that command to automatically install types if they exist, e.g.:

yarn add --dev mocha && autotypes

or

npm i --save-dev mocha && autotypes
