npm package using @types/meteor cannot find module meteor/meteor

Question

I have published an npm package (meteor-model) that has a dependency on @types/meteor. The project itself works fine and

import Meteor from 'meteor/meteor'

correctly resolves to

node_modules/@types/meteor

However, it does not work when I install this package in another project:

Cannot find module 'meteor/meteor'

thrown in

node_modules\meteor-model\dist\MeteorModelDecorators.js:38:16

The repo is here: https://github.com/navio-xyz/meteor-model

Answer 1

Now you can just use the following command to install meteor types:

meteor npm install @types/meteor --save

Answer 2

You simply cannot use 'meteor/*' package to import any module, because there is no meteor package system. If you want to use Meteor or Mongo etc., you can just use it as global variable directly. To enable the type check for such global variables, here is what to do:

1. install @types/meteor package using

npm install --save-dev @types/meteor

2. add types into your compilerOptions in your tsconfig.json file like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
     ...
     "types": [
       "meteor"
     ]
  }
}
