This package contains Typescript definitions for Vinyl, a virtual file format. Vinyl describes a file with its path, contents, and other metadata. These definitions allow developers using Typescript to leverage the Vinyl format with type safety and enhanced IDE support. Using @types/vinyl ensures proper integration and avoids potential type-related issues when working with Vinyl-based libraries and workflows in a Typescript project, such as those involving build tools like Gulp.
