Typescript can't find typings for import from 'gsap/all'

[JohnJesse]

I don't think the typings are working correctly here.
I was reading through some of the docs and thought that I had the option of importing from `gsap` of `gsap/all` etc
But - when I import from one of the sub files e.g. `gsap/all` typescript fails to find the types for the module
This is resolved if I import from `gsap` instead.

This seems like a bug - as I lose the typings for importing from `gsap/...`

That's a problem with how typescript looks for definitions. When you use "gsap/all", it looks for a package named gsap/all, which of course doesn't exist. So you either have to import from "gsap" in at least 1 file, or tell the compiler where the definitions are in a tsconfig. See the FAQ.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
  },
  "files": [
    "node_modules/gsap/types/index.d.ts"
  ]
}

Ah ok, I need to explicitly tell typescript where to find the types, fair enough,

Thanks
