smithy-types-override

If you have multiple versions of @smithy/types in your dependencies, it may break type checking.

To fix type checking:

1. Install this package

1npm install --save-dev smithy-types-override

2. Update your package.json to use package overrides

1{
2  "overrides": {
3    "dependency": {
4      "smithy-types-override": "$@smithy/types"
5    }
6  }
7}

3. Update your imports to use the overridden file

1import type { NodeJsClient, BrowserClient } from "smithy-types-override";

4. ???

5. Profit

Your types will now always be imported from the latest version of @smithy/types and you can avoid type errors 🎉

The permanent solution would be for all of your dependencies to use the same and latest version of @smithy/types, which may never happen.
