Checklist

• The issue observed is not already reported by searching on Github under https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/issues
• The issue occurs in the stable client (latest release) on https://hlsjs.video-dev.org/demo and not just on my page
• The issue occurs in the latest client (main branch) on https://hlsjs-dev.video-dev.org/demo and not just on my page
• The stream has correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers (CORS)
• There are no network errors such as 404s in the browser console when trying to play the stream

Steps to reproduce

1. make a blank typescript project
2. install hls.js
3. paste the following code

import Hls from 'hls.js/light';

Hls.isSupported()

5. and notice that isSupported is of type any and not type () => boolean

Expected behaviour

as you can see, with the normal version, types work fine

What actually happened?

it fails to find a declaration file, as the build script does not generate these files for the /light version

Console output

not applicable

Chrome media internals output

Can you copy the main type definitions to workaround the issue?

Since the light build stubs out various modules, there isn't a very clean way to type the stubbed modules. The expectation is that you use the full types and avoid disabled or missing features.

A fix for this issue might be to simply export another copy of the types as hls.light.d.ts. The challenge would be to have alternates for all the types that are replaced by stubs with the aliases defined by the build config:

hls.js/build-config.js
