Q: How to use with TypeScript?

[manuman94]

Description

I tried to integrate jasmine-expect in my jasmine test framework built in Typescript and I got "types not found" problems. It's not working when I launch the tests but VSCode is complaining too throwing me errors like:
Property 'toBeArray' does not exist on type 'ArrayLikeMatchers<number>'.
I figured out that the problem is that is not finding the type definitions. I downloaded @types/jasmine-expect but is a stub and stills giving me the errors.

Suggested Solution

When I copy the node_modules/jasmine-expect/dist types to node_modules/@types/jasmine-expect folder my project is running. Why don't keep type definitions on its @types folder?

Thank you so much!

Thanks @manuman94, I do plan to eventually rewrite Jasmine-Matchers in TypeScript but it will take time. In the meantime I wrote a newer version in TypeScript for Jest – but that is for Jest, not Jasmine. A Jasmine version will come in time, I'm planning to create it at expect-more-jasmine then create a backported version of that to publish in this repo.

Thanks @JamieMason, I've been testing with this matchers and other custom matchers created by me with your library add-matchers and it is awesome. An organized way of creating useful new matchers.

In the meantime I placed a script in my package.json that copies all ".d.ts" files on @types.

Thank you for this awesome library.

Thanks a lot @manuman94, you're welcome – it's really great to hear of it being used.

Do you have an example repo somewhere I can look at @manuman94 to try and help? Also, have you seen the TypeScript example at https://github.com/JamieMason/Jasmine-Matchers/tree/03bc19b4170dad265684f112f3a90f5d97fd6998/examples to compare against?
