I am on using WSL.

type tempType = {
  name: string;

Hi @outer egret. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It looks like you're having trouble with TypeScript not detecting the types defined in your types.d.ts file. Here are a few steps to ensure that your TypeScript setup correctly recognizes the type definitions:

  1. Ensure the types.d.ts file is in the correct directory: Typically, global type definitions are placed in a types directory at the root of your project. According to the Next.js template documentation (https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/medusa), the /types directory contains global TypeScript type definitions.

  2. Include the types directory in your tsconfig.json: Make sure that your tsconfig.json file includes the types directory. Here is an example configuration:

    {
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "incremental": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./*"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["next-env.d.ts", "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx", "types/**/*.d.ts"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

  3. Restart your TypeScript server: Sometimes, the TypeScript server needs to be restarted to pick up new type definitions. You can do this by restarting your development server or your editor.

  4. Check for any TypeScript errors: Ensure there are no errors in your types.d.ts file or any other TypeScript configuration issues.

Here is how your types.d.ts file should look:

# 
type tempType = {
  name: string;
  address: string;
};

And your Sidebar.tsx should be able to use the tempType without any issues:

export default function Sidebar() {
  const newvar: tempType[] = [
    {
      name: "hi",
      address: "djkl"
    }
  ];
}

If you follow these steps and ensure your tsconfig.json is correctly set up, TypeScript should be able to detect the types defined in your types.d.ts file.

For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation (https://vercel.com/templates/next.js/medusa) on setting up TypeScript.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

If your types in types.d.ts are still not being detected, let's ensure everything is set up correctly step-by-step. Here are some additional checks and steps you can follow:

  1. Correct TypeScript Syntax: Ensure your type definition in types.d.ts is correct. The type definition should be:

    type tempType = {
  name: string;
  address: string;
};

  2. Correct tsconfig.json Configuration: Make sure your tsconfig.json includes the types directory. Here is an example configuration:

    {
  "compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    //...other options...
  },
  "include": [
    "types/**/*.d.ts",
    "next-env.d.ts",
    ".next/types/**/*.ts",
    "**/*.ts",
    "**/*.tsx"
  ],
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

  3. File Placement: Ensure that your types.d.ts file is placed in a directory that is included in the tsconfig.json. For example, if you have a types directory at the root of your project, the path should be types/types.d.ts.

  4. Restart TypeScript Server: Sometimes, the TypeScript server needs to be restarted to pick up new type definitions. You can do this by restarting your development server or your editor.

  5. Check for TypeScript Errors: Ensure there are no errors in your types.d.ts file or any other TypeScript configuration issues.

Here is how your types.d.ts file should look:

type tempType = {
  name: string;
  address: string;
};

And your Sidebar.tsx should be able to use the tempType without any issues:

export default function Sidebar() {
  const newvar: tempType[] = [
    {
      name: "hi",
      address: "djkl"
    }
  ];
}
