TypeScript types using different package name.

TypeScript types using different package name.

Both the repository and npm package use "jquery-ui":
https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jquery-ui

However, the types use "jqueryui":
https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/jqueryui
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/jqueryui

This makes it difficult to find and automatically import types for jquery-ui.
Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72396891/typescript-and-jquery-ui-what-am-i-doing-wrong

There is also a package (Last updated 8 years ago at time of posting.) with the same name as those types here:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jqueryui

Would it be possible to consider changing the name of the types?

Those aren't managed by the jQuery UI team. You'd need to talk to the owners of those packages.

Thank you for your response.
It does not matter so much if those packages are not managed by the jQuery UI team.
The real solution would be to have DefinitelyTyped types packages that match the package name.
Would the jQuery UI team consider creating TypeScript types below?
https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/jquery-ui

Can you ask the DefinitelyTyped group about it? It seems like an alias of the existing types would solve the problem. That's not our repo, and there is only a skeletal jQuery UI team.

OK, I'll check there for now.
Thank you for your time.
