Salesforce Lightning TypeScript Types

Public type definitions for packages exposed on the Salesforce Lightning platform.

Installation

First, install the package using your preferred package manager.

``sh
npm install @salesforce/lightning-types


OR


yarn add @salesforce/lightning-types
`

Next, import the package once, from any TypeScript file in your project. For example, if you have a
types directory, you may create a file called salesforce.d.ts.

`ts
// types/salesforce.d.ts
import "@salesforce/lightning-types";
`

Lastly, ensure that the file with the import is included in your tsconfig.json.

`jsonc
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
},
"include": ["src", "types"],
}
`

Now you can import Salesforce Lightning TypeScript types!

`ts
import LightningInput from "lightning/input";
`

Some modules available on the platform are also publicly available via npm (for example, lwc). To ensure maximum compatibility with your project, they are listed in @salesforce/lightning-types as peer dependencies. However, not all package managers automatically install peer dependencies. To ensure all types are available in your project, you may need to to explicitly install the peer dependencies.

`sh
npm install @salesforce/lightning-types @salesforce/i18n lwc


OR


yarn add @salesforce/lightning-types @salesforce/i18n lwc
`
