Should reference to #238 and #177 here, and maybe compare contents of my gist linked in it.

[taoqf]

I just want to help, and I am using this project in my work.

Having typings for exceljs would be awesome! @guyonroche 🙏

[kachkaev]

ouch 😆

[taoqf]

Sorry for the formatter

[guyonroche]

Thanks @taoqf for doing this!
I'm not the hugest fan of types in JS but I know a lot of people are :-) so this will be a great addition

[Purus]

How should I use this typings for my Typescript application?

[taoqf]

Just install this lib will be OK, after new version if published.

[Purus]

Any idea when this will be published? Trying to use in a project.

[taoqf]

ask @guyonroche

@taoqf @guyonroche It looks like this is in the repo and released 👏

But on v1.0.1 import * as ExcelJs from 'exceljs'; isn't giving me any types as expected.
I can't find a index.d.ts in the dist after installing either
Has anyone gotten it to work? 🤔

[taoqf]

@guyonroche , please put index.d.ts in release.

@ahaverty I found the typings in the repo, copied and pasted into the node_modules/exceljs folder. Not a great solution but works until the release is fixed.

Before this change I was using types from https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/exceljs
ie. installed with npm install @types/exceljs

Now I updated to the latest exceljs and the 'official' types from this merge don't seem so good. To give one example the font interface says that font requires all the parameters where I believe actually they should be optional?

[kachkaev]

@spacem could you please submit a PR that would fix the typing issues you are facing?

[taoqf]

@spacem anything else?

[spacem]

Beat me to the pr.. Maybe others should be partial but I am not using those.
The only other compile error I get now is from streams. The DefinitelyTyped types had import { Writable, Stream } from 'stream'; so could pass the result of createInputStream() into stream.pipe()

Thanks guys!

[taoqf]

@spacem Maybe you should install @types/node for now.
npm install @types/node

I've add this into dependencies.
