Make TypeScript definitions available in the Project

[daanvanhulst]

When installing TypeScript definitions to a ASP.NET 5 project, they will be installed in the /packages folder. For example for Angular this would look like: '\packages\angularjs.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped'. At the moment I would have to manually copy these files to (for example) 'Scripts/typings', so that I can reference to these Typing in my JavaScript.

Please also see this stackoverflow post with more details:

This sounds less than idea. For now, I'm not sure how to resolve this issue for you because (unless I'm missing something) NuGet doesn't support the ability to re-map destination of output.

Until we find a better resolution, I'd recommend looking into using TSD.

If you or anyone has any thoughts or work-arounds on how to possibly resolve this issue, any clues here would be helpful...

I'm running into the same issue (also using project.json but in my case in conjunction with the old skool .csproj files)
The NuGet package needs to support the new project.json file format, and it looks that here it is explained how to do that: http://blog.nuget.org/20160126/nuget-contentFiles-demystified.html
