@types/yargs 17.0.32

The "@types/yargs" npm package provides TypeScript definitions for the popular yargs library. Utilizing the TypeScript language's static typing, it helps developers to have better type checking and autocompletion when working with the yargs library, which is widely used for building interactive command line tools. This ultimately improves code quality and reduces the risk of runtime errors. "@types/yargs" offers a seamless way to benefit from TypeScript's advanced features in your existing yargs projects.

Utilizing "@types/yargs" in your TypeScript project is straightforward. Firstly, you'll need to make sure TypeScript is set up correctly in your project. Next, install both the yargs library and the "@types/yargs" type definitions using npm:

npm install yargs
npm install --save-dev @types/yargs

After the installation, you can use yargs in your TypeScript files:

import yargs from 'yargs';

const argv = yargs
   .option('name', {
      alias: 'n',
      describe: 'Enter your name',
      type: 'string'
    })
   .help()
   .alias('help', 'h')
   .argv;

console.log(`Hello, ${argv.name}`);

Please note that "@types/yargs" are devDependencies, which means they are only used in your development environment and will not be included during runtime.

The official documentation for "@types/yargs" can be found directly on the DefinitelyTyped GitHub repository. It's important to note that "@types/yargs" is a package providing type definitions for the yargs library, therefore the "yargs GitHub repository" and its documentation will also be highly relevant for understanding how to use "@types/yargs". The TypeScript Handbook's guide on declaration files will also be helpful for those looking to understand more about TypeScript typings overall.
