Consider switching away from defining types with an ambient module

[dsherret]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, stripe defines its types with an amient module like so:

stripe-node/types/index.d.ts

Line 205 in a91857a

declare module 'stripe' {

This is not ideal because stripe might not always be imported with the module specifier as "stripe". For example, someone might be importing it via a url or alias the stripe package. Essentially by using an ambient module, the code is declaring a global module specifier "stripe" rather than being the types that are exported from the package.

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead, export the declarations from ./types/index.d.ts

Any progress on this? Its becoming a hassle to use Stripe in our Deno app :/

There haven't been changes yet, but this is something we're prioritizing in 2025 (and ideally earlier rather than later).
