Bufferis not a global type inherent to Typescript (comes from nodejs) so not all compiler options support it. Therefore, using pgtyped in those environments can lead to a compiler error on theBuffertypeTools usually solve this with two options:
node:buffermodule (soimport type { Buffer } from "node:buffer";works)Bufferto the global namespaceAdding to the global namespace is generally bad, so option (1) is usually preferred. However, pgtyped only supported option (2)
This PR changes so files generated from pgtyped include
import type { Buffer } from 'node:buffer';in the generated code so that projects using pgtyped don't have to pollute their global namespace to get the project working. This reduces the need for hacks like #262 (comment)
