I noticed that the file defined in main in the package.json file doesn't have type declarations since it is written in JavaScript.
This fix might help with #35.

Adding this since it might not be exported anymore in the next version of Electron.

sorry for the delay, this got lost in my inbox. I'm not super familiar with how .d.ts files work but if this works then I'm happy to merge it.

Hi, when is this expected to be included in the next release? Currently, I'm poly-filling with

declare module '@electron/remote' {
  import { remote } from 'electron';
  export = remote;
}

I would love to use a more accurate type definition in my project.

It looks like the tests are failing on main: https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/electron/remote/117/workflows/8de10615-98d8-4bb5-9baa-0d69e50c5a2d/jobs/197

It seems related to this PR. Any ideas?

I'm getting the following errors in v1.1.0:

TS2304: Cannot find name 'NodeRequireCache'.
TS2304: Cannot find name 'NodeExtensions'.

It seems NodeRequireCache and NodeExtensions are not in @types/node for some reason. Is it okay if I just create a PR that copies from DefinitelyTyped?

interface NodeRequireCache {
    [path: string]: NodeModule;
}
interface NodeExtensions {
    '.js': (m: NodeModule, filename: string) => any;
    '.json': (m: NodeModule, filename: string) => any;
    '.node': (m: NodeModule, filename: string) => any;
    [ext: string]: (m: NodeModule, filename: string) => any;
}

This should be alright because of the declaration merging feature in TypeScript.

Yes, sure! I did the same.

This problem (NodeRequireCache) happens here too. Odd thing is that the types are there and the node types are updated to v14.14.45. I'll have to revert to the deprecated module until this is solved.

EDIT:
Two minutes of thinking and searching led me to this workaround: add the electron types in tsconfig.json before the standard node ones. For some reason Electron 11 has them but node 14 doesn't.

"typeRoots": [
      "node_modules/electron/node_modules/@types",
      "node_modules/@types",
    ]
