usage

Example: Your need change some typescript definition types for package angular, then you fork DefinitelyTyped & change file jqlite.d.ts

You should create a PR to DefinitelyTyped. But before the PR is merged, you can use this package to download your changed files & overwrite the original files by adding npm postinstall script to your package.json, ex:

{
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "module-files-patch rangy,34066,lib/rangy-classapplier,%rangy-classapplier angular,index,jqlite"
  }
}

Here:

• rangy, angular is the packages.
• 20560 (optional) is the PR number
• lib/rangy-classapplier, index, jqlite is files in the package that will be fetched. The following files will be fetch (from your fork) & overwrite:
  • node_modules/@types/rangy/lib/rangy-classapplier.d.ts
  • node_modules/@types/angular/{index, jqlite}
• %rangy-classapplier (start with %) indicate the file will be deleted:
  • node_modules/@types/rangy/rangy-classapplier.d.ts
