Rename to @types/ts-reset

[kevinwolfcr]

So far, I've been able to abstract this into my personal shareable tsconfig.json by adding @total-typescript/ts-reset to the types array of tsconfig.json.

However, by doing that, TypeScript does not automatically load @types/* packages, which forces me to re-declare the types array and manually include all the typings I want.

Yes, this is not a recommended approach - hence why the installation instructions are different.

[mattpocock]

Because of what you pointed out, that "types" is exclusive.

I agree, and I understand your point. One possible solution could be to create a new package named @types/ts-reset. If you’d rather not handle this yourself or rename the current library, would you be okay with me creating and publishing it to npm? Naturally, I’d give proper credit to the original library and clearly explain what it solves.

[mattpocock]

I'd prefer if it was named something else, as I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with an approach like that. I think that it's too implicit to just have an npm package change global types. An obvious exception is @types/node, but I think that @types/node and @types/ts-reset are quite different.

[kevinwolfcr]

As I see it, and the reason why I really like this library, its because it solves most of the caveats TypeScript has. So I'll maybe pick another name and just reference @total-typescript/ts-reset. Maybe something like @types/ts-preflight or @types/ts-fix.

Sure, though - as I said - I don't recommend that this be done.
