Definitelytyped: @types/webpack lacks webpack-env.d.ts

Created on 2 Sep 2016 · 5Comments · Source: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

I would like to use webpack-env.d.ts of @types/webpack however although the file exists in https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/types-2.0/webpack the package does not contain webpack-env.d.ts.

# @types/webpack 1.12.33
ls node_modules/@types/webpack/
 README.md          
 index.d.ts          
 package.json       
 types-metadata.json

@types

I guess a package on its own would be best as the webpack definition is about the _webpack compiler_ (node js) and webpack-env definition is about the available helpers in the frontend code which will be added by webpack.

Hmmm... even if it does include it, you won't be able to reference it with /// <reference type=...

I guess webpack-env should become it's own for the sake of simplicity. or atleast, be merged into webpack to make it all easier.

As @jantimon said, webpack-env should be extracted to a separate package. As far as usage goes, it has the same function as node.d.ts and it should be used the same way: e.g. npm install @types/webpack-env and then simply using the global require in your typescript file. No reference tags needed.
