Typings for angular

[unional]

This is for angular 1.x.

Angular 2.0 already has typings build-in

I have a question.

How to install Angular 2?

typings install dt~angular2 -G -S  # typings ERR!

Angular 2 doesn't need to install anything. It comes with its own typings as it is written in typescript

I have a question - why aren't the angular typings from DT copied over here, maintained here for future updates to angular and the typings in DT be left there for current projects?

[felixfbecker]

@sgwatgit That's basically how we move all the typings. It is just a lot of work and somebody has to do it ;)

[seangwright]

Gotcha. I wasn't sure what the process was or if certain users were managing that process. I have been reading most of the day trying to figure out DT vs Typings and why certain Typings (angular) are managed the way they are currently.

Since the Typings registry contains references to other repos which contain the d.ts files (as opposed to DT which contains the Typings directly) where would the angular d.ts files like live if migrated from DT?

Does anyone from the angular team maintain them at DT or are they maintained completely by the community?

[felixfbecker]

Completely maintained by the community. The typings in typings/registry can live in any repository. We have the @types organization that has a lot of typings that our "core team" maintains (we also accept PRs of course), but you can also write your own typings in your own repo and then do a PR to add it to the registry.

As for the difference, as it stands right now DT = quantity, typings = quality.
