Hey all 👋

Quick question for the Typesense JS library, are there docs somewhere that describe how to use TypeScript within it?

e.g. if I want to do something like:

import Typesense from 'typesense'```

export const useTypesenseClient = (protocol = 'https', port = 443): SearchClient => {

``
Where it will say

SearchClient` not found, which is kind of obvious, but I find no information whatsoever on how to import types / which types / etc … ?

Some example imports from our app:

import { Client } from 'typesense';
import {
  SearchParams,
  SearchOptions,
  SearchResponse
} from 'typesense/lib/Typesense/Documents';
import {
  MultiSearchRequestSchema,
  MultiSearchRequestsSchema,
  MultiSearchResponse
} from 'typesense/lib/Typesense/MultiSearch';
import { CollectionSchema } from 'typesense/lib/Typesense/Collection';
