About
Stack Exchange global types is a type declaration package adding or augmenting type definitions for global objects exposed by Stack Exchange for client-side consumption on pages of network sites. Currently, the package includes the following:
| Features | Definitions/augmentations | Known Limitations |
|---|---|---|
augments Stacks exposed by the @stackoverflow/stacks package |
Adds missing classes and helper methods like showModal/hideModal (see example usage in official Stacks docs) |
|
adds type definitions for StackExchange object (exposed on all pages on the network sites) |
Full definition (for example, StackExchange.options.user.isRegistered) - as most of the Stack Exchange codebase is not open-source, so there are no type definitions available to augment |
v1.1.1 only includes some of the exposed helper methods as each needs to be tested |

Download
Type declarations are available as a GitHub package and can be installed via a package manager like NPM as usual:
npm install --save-dev @userscripters/stackexchange-global-types
As GitHub only supports scoped packages, you will need a simple .npmrc file at your project root:
@userscripters:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
An NPM package is planned to be released in the near future.
Platform
The type declarations are intended to be used with TypeScript/JavaScript projects targeting browsers.
