TypeScript package creation declaration files

Question

I'm creating a package in typescript and I generate the declaration files using the tsc tool but when I try to import this package from another project type definitions doesn't load automatically and I get type errors. How can I achieve this problem? I know there are modules that you don't need to install or specify typings to use but I couldn't find how to do this.

EDIT - details: I generate declaration file using the tsc --declarations command and all of them goes directly to the build directory with js files. I've {"types": "./build/index.d.ts", "typescript.tsdk": "./build"} in my package.json but it doesn't seem to effect anything. Here are some examples:

build/index.d.ts

import Network from './network';
import Queue from './queue';
export { Queue, Network, Jobs };

build/network/index.d.ts

import Address from './address';
import Socket from './socket';
import Packet from './packet';
export { Address, Socket, Packet };
declare var _default: {
    Address: typeof Address;
    Socket: typeof Socket;
    Packet: typeof Packet;
};
export default _default;

build/network/packet.dt.ts

export default class Packet {
    private params;
    static fromString(str: string): Packet;
    toString(): string;
}

please add details, how your d.ts file look, where you put it, how you reference it — Max Koretskyi

Alright, I've edited my question and added some examples of declaration files. — İbrahim Duran

I don't get particularly one error, basically my classes, interfaces etc. don't get defined. So for example I've a class that extends Socket and when I try to use this.connect in it, I get this.connect is not defined error. — İbrahim Duran

Since you use default export and your package is inside node_modules, you can import it the following way:

import Socket from "core/build/network/socket";

class Abc extends Socket {
    constructor() {
        super();

        this.connect('address');
    }
}

let s = new Socket();
s.connect('address');
