Type definitions not automatically found by the compiler

[Tompouce-onGit]

After installing the type definitions with npm install --save-dev @types/p5, typing some p5 code into the latest version of vscode doesn't show any intellisense types. This suggests that the typescript compiler can't find the definitions under ./node_modules/@types/p5.

I know explicitly including references at the top of each file will work, but this seems like a noteworthy issue.

I believe it used to work. Where are other typings installed?

Referenced issue from p5.js repository: processing/p5.js#1339 (comment)

Is there anything we can do to make the types available globally when the npm package is installed?

[Zalastax]

I unfortunately don't know.

Just a note from my side: using p5 version 1.0.0 and @types/p5 version 0.9.1 works well.
In case it matters: I am using ES6 import syntax.

Hi @vinkla

I've been trying to find a nice way to incorporate this into my p5 vscode extension. Have not quite figured out the best way yet, but did discover that you can add the types globally to a project by creating a jsconfig.json file and adding this to it:

{
  "include": [
    "*.js",
    "libraries/*.js",
    "node_modules/@types/p5/global.d.ts"
  ]
}
