capnweb-better-types

Temporary package that ships a copy of dist/index.d.ts from: https://github.com/cloudflare/capnweb/pull/142

Use this only until that PR is merged and released in capnweb.

Install

npm i capnweb
npm i -D capnweb-better-types

Use

Option 1: Import utility types directly

Import types directly:

import type { RpcCompatible, Stub, Stubify, Provider } from "capnweb-better-types";

Runtime imports still come from capnweb.

Option 2: Override capnweb type inference (recommended)

Add this to your project tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "capnweb": ["./node_modules/capnweb-better-types/capnweb"]
    }
  }
}

This replaces only TypeScript's module declaration resolution for "capnweb". Runtime still resolves to the real capnweb package.

If you use skipLibCheck: false, current upstream build output may hit TypeScript TS2574. Temporary workaround: set skipLibCheck: true until upstream release.

How this file is obtained (future updates)

When you want to refresh this package with newer upstream types:

# from the capnweb repo root
npm run build
cp dist/index.d.ts capnweb-better-types/capnweb.d.ts

Then bump capnweb-better-types version and publish.
