Type sharing in typescripts projects.

better approach for type sharing in typescript projects? right now sharing it with npm. is there any other way?

@mjRaza , what do you mean by sharing it with npm? Do you mean publishing it as a npm package and then using it?

Here's how I am currently sharing my types. I usually define the types on the container application (which integrates the MFEs).
In my MFE then, I link the same types using my tsconfig.json file as follows:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strict": true,
    "jsx": "react",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*",
    "../container/src/typings/header.d.ts",
    "../container/src/typings/window.d.ts"
  ]
}

Does this solve your problem?

NPM sharing is the approach I have been recommending. If you have the time, you could look into writing a typescript language service plugin to enable remote type definition support like https://deno.land/ has.
