How to import express and have typing?

[MatthD]

Hello,

Just following the documentation I tried to

/// <reference path="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/master/types/express/index.d.ts" />
import express from "npm:express";

const app = express();

but no luck, app is of any types,

More generally I do not understand how to deal with types coming from npm modules.

This is not currently supported with experimental npm specifiers, but is on the roadmap.

#15960 has been opened to track progress of support. Closing in favour of that.

Not tested, but you may try https://esm.sh/{{package}}@{{version}}.

Plus, you can get https://esm.sh self hosted.
