Lesson 6: Hardhat Simple Storage [TypeScript]

While writing test from test/test-deploy.ts. I saw following import for defining types of SimpleStorage and SimpleStorage_factory

import { SimpleStorage, SimpleStorage__factory } from "../typechain-types";

I am seeing following error.

Cannot find module '../typechain-types' or its corresponding type declarations

the typechain-types directory doesn't exit in this git repo. How to solve it?

You need to generate the typechain-types by writing this command line in your terminal - hh typechain or yarn hardhat typechain.

Also, check if you have typechain installed in your project. If not, you can install using this command, yarn add --dev typechain

Thanks for helping.
My mistake was I was writing in TypeScript from starting of the tutorial without realizing that it all have been explained by Patrick in the end of the chapter.
