Get typescript definition files via bower?

Question

Are there any other possibilities to get TypeScript type definitions then copy from the useful DefinitelyTyped Repo or using NuGet? Maybe bower or something like that?

Answer 1

It is possible with bower.

First install bower by using npm:

npm install -g bower

Then install DefinitelyTyped by using bower:

bower install DefinitelyTyped

Answer 2

The best option is to use tsd. It is like npm or bower, but for typescript definitions

 npm install tsd@next -g

 cd path/to/your/project
 tsd init

Then

 tsd install jQuery --save

That's it.

EDIT

There is a new TypeScript definition manager, typings, with the goal of non-ambient type definitions used by external modules.

EDIT

With the future TypeScript 2, you will be able to install type definitions with npm install @types/jQuery

Answer 3

They can be installed via nuget e.g. https://www.nuget.org/packages/jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped/

This also may be of use:
