error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'mime'.

[porameht]

I keep getting this error on "npm run build"

Node version : 16

How can I resolve this conflict and ensure I have the correct type definitions for the versions of 'mime' being used?
Is there a specific way to manage multiple versions of 'mime' and their type definitions?

Not sure what happened but it looks like mime's type definitions were deprecated through 4.0.0

In case it can help, I ended up using package.json resolution as a workaround.

"resolutions": {
    "@types/mime": "^3 || ^1"
},

Just ran into this at work and remembered seeing this issue.

It appears that @types/mime@4.0.0 is deprecated now. I dont know why yet, the message on NPM says that mime ships it's own types now.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/mime

I'll keep this open for now bc folks will likely come looking, but there isn't anything we can do over here, it's an upstream issue.

This should be resolved with DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#69231

Closing, let me know if something goes awry.
