Last week I submited a [pull request to the DefinitelyTyped repository](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/70926) for the Google Drive Picker API. Not a big deal in itself, but these types are generated from the same source as the [Google Drive Picker reference documentation](https://developers.google.com/drive/picker/reference/picker) and *should* be more correct and consistent than the community types that were previously in the DefinitelyTyped repository. The versions of [`@types/google.picker`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/google.picker?activeTab=versions) in this switchover are: * `@types/google.picker@0.0.43` === old community types * `@types/google.picker@0.0.44` === new autogenerated types You can update with the following command: ```sh npm install -D @types/google.picker@^0.0.44 ``` If you find any mistakes or inconsistencies in the types, please open an issue at and not the DefinitelyTyped repository since the Google team will need to make the changes.
