Typescript Declaration File For Chessboardjs (implicit Import)

Hoping to create a few declaration files for DefinitelyTyped (So I want to make sure they are top quality). The next lib I am taking on is https://github.com/oakmac/chessboardjs/.

Solution 1:

It doesn't work like this. The definition file describes how the library works.

This

import * as ChessBoard from "chessboardjs"

and this

import ChessBoard from "chessboardjs"

and this

import { ChessBoard } from "chessboardjs"

each mean three very different things at runtime. Almost certainly only one of them works. If you have a working import, you shouldn't be touching the definition file at all. It's just going to break at runtime.
