How to use DefinitelyTyped types in a Nuxt 3 project?

I've been trying to use DefinitelyTyped types in my project multiple times but just cannot get it working. Is there an additional step that I need to do? 1. installed types for Google Maps with npm i @types/google.maps (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/google.maps) 2. in my script setup I try to import an interface like this:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { GeocoderResult } from '@types/google.maps'

<script setup lang="ts">
import { GeocoderResult } from '@types/google.maps'

A index.d.ts is present in @types/google.maps but I'm getting 'GeocoderResult' is declared but its value is never read.ts(6133) Cannot import type declaration files. Consider importing 'google.maps' instead of '@types/google.maps'.ts(6137) Do I need to add something else to my tsconfig? Edit: Okay I just read it's not possible to import index.d.ts file as it seems... but how am I supposed to use the interface in @types/google.maps?

does import type { GeocoderResult } from '@types/google.maps' work?

Hey @manniL / TheAlexLichter, thanks for your time–I figured it out! Had to reference it:

<script setup lang="ts">
/// <reference types="google.maps" />

<script setup lang="ts">
/// <reference types="google.maps" />

Now I can do this:

const googleAutocompleteCity = (place: google.maps.places.PlaceResult) => {
    // yeyyy intellisense, I finally know what's going on :)
    const formattedAddress = place.formatted_address
}

const googleAutocompleteCity = (place: google.maps.places.PlaceResult) => {
    // yeyyy intellisense, I finally know what's going on :)
    const formattedAddress = place.formatted_address
}
