How can I use .d.ts with in local javascript function

I wonder how can I use .d.ts file to local javascript files.

I know I can declare module to give a type to third-party libs.

// index.d.ts (wrote on place typeRoots)

declare module "random-joke" {
  const getRandomJoke: () => Promise<any>;
  export { getRandomJoke };
}

like this. so I can use this "random-joke" library with type.

but how about this? I am try to import { sum } function in index.ts


// module/utils.js

export function sum(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

export function power(a, b) {
  return a ** b;
}

export function multiply(a, b) {
  return a * b;
}


import { sum } from "./modules/utils"; 

//'sum' is declared but its value is never read.ts(6133) 
//Could not find a declaration file for module './modules/utils'. 

I tried declare module like this. but it doesn't works (It would have been pretty funny if this worked)

enter image description here

Anyway, I tried everything what I know. But the only thing that worked out was set allowJS:true in tsconfig.json

I know it isn't a right answer. then how can I make typescript get types in d.ts file in fair with javascript functions?

Even a little hint would be of great help. thanks

ok, now I got how these things work.

just create your d.ts file with prefix of your js file.

in this case, you should make "utils.d.ts"


// module/utils.d.ts

export declare function sum(a: number, b: number): number;
export declare function power(a: number, b: number): number;
export declare function multiply(a: number, b: number): number;

then ts will get types by comparing file name.

enter image description here

as you can see, now you can use your js functions within types.

just be sure add your .d.ts file path in tsconfig.json.


{
   //...

    "typeRoots": [
      "./types",
      "./modules" // my d.ts files are in "types" and "modules"
    ] /* Specify multiple folders that act like './node_modules/@types'. */

  //...

hope this answer were help.
