TypeScript definitions in repo do not match with latest version on npm

[alexlawrence]

Expected behavior

When installing the latest version of @use-it/event-listener from npm, the TypeScript definitions should be the same as in the latest repo version (7fd6e56#diff-88bec6beae84369c0376b56b3bb88fe1).

Actual behavior

When installing @use-it/event-listener@0.1.3 from npm, the package contains older TypeScript definitions (8494f30#diff-88bec6beae84369c0376b56b3bb88fe1). On top of that, it seems to me that they are incorrect. Since the hook uses a native host functionality to subscribe to DOM events, the type for a received should not be SyntheticEvent.

Resolution

Is it possible to release a newer version to npm with the updated TypeScript definitions?

Hey Alex, unfortunately, it has been this way for a while. I've been trying to contact the maintainer, @donavon for around 2 months now.

I will publish my fork on npm later today. In the meantime, you could use some ugly type assertions to get your code to compile.

Thanks for the fast answer @srmagura ! Ah, I didn't know there was an issue with the maintenance of this project. No worries about npm publishing though. For the time being, I simply do a cast to any, which gets around the problem.

[srmagura]

Sounds good.

For anyone else looking at this, I have published the project with up-to-date TypeScript definitions at @srmagura/use-event-listener.

deployed to npm as @use-it/event-listener@0.1.4
