Please fill in this template.

• [✔️] Use a meaningful title for the pull request. Include the name of the package modified.
• [✔️] Test the change in your own code. (Compile and run.)
• [✔️ ] Add or edit tests to reflect the change.
• [ ✔️] Follow the advice from the readme.
• [✔️ ] Avoid common mistakes.
• [✔️ ] Run pnpm test <package to test>.

Select one of these and delete the others:

If adding a new definition:

• [✔️ ] The package does not already provide its own types, or cannot have its .d.ts files generated via --declaration
• [✔️] If this is for an npm package, match the name. If not, do not conflict with the name of an npm package.
• [ ✔️] Create it with dts-gen --dt, not by basing it on an existing project.
• [✔️] Represents shape of module/library correctly
• [✔️] tsconfig.json should have noImplicitAny, noImplicitThis, strictNullChecks, and strictFunctionTypes set to true.

If changing an existing definition:

• [ ] Provide a URL to documentation or source code which provides context for the suggested changes: <>
• [ ] If this PR brings the type definitions up to date with a new version of the JS library, update the version number in the package.json.

If removing a declaration:

• [ ] If a package was never on Definitely Typed, you don't need to do anything. (If you wrote a package and provided types, you don't need to register it with us.)
• [ ] Delete the package's directory.
• [ ] Add it to notNeededPackages.json.

🔔 @knee-cola — there are no owners, but it would still be good if you find someone to review this PR in the next few days, otherwise a maintainer will look at it. (And if you do find someone, maybe even recruit them to be a second owner to make future changes easier...)

@knee-cola The CI build failed! Please review the logs for more information.

Once you've pushed the fixes, the build will automatically re-run. Thanks!

Note: builds that are failing do not end up on the list of PRs for the DT maintainers to review.
