Mattermost Types

This package contains shared type definitions used by the Mattermost web app and related projects.

Usage

For technologies that support subpath exports, such as Node.js, Webpack, and Babel, you can import these types directly from individual files.

import {UserProfile} from '@mattermost/types/users';

For technologies that don't support that yet, you can add an alias in its package resolution settings to support that.

Jest

In your Jest config, you can use the moduleNameMapper field to add that alias.

{
    "moduleNameMapper": {
        "^@mattermost/types/(.*)$": "<rootDir>/node_modules/@mattermost/types/lib/$1"
    }
}
