typings has wrong referenced path

I have a small little Typescript library that I am trying to publish to npmjs with the correct typings. However, it seems like it's not exporting the types file properly.

I have a simple method in the src/index.ts file and typings from src/typings/index.d.ts. (some function names/parameters renamed)

import { CoolData } from "./typings";  export const sampleExport = async (): Promise<CoolData[]> => {}  

This is my tsconfig.json

{      "compilerOptions": {          "target": "es5",          "module": "commonjs",          "moduleResolution": "node",          "esModuleInterop": true,          "resolveJsonModule": true,          "lib": ["es6"],          "declaration": true,          "declarationMap": true,          "declarationDir": "dist",          "outDir": "dist",          "rootDir": "src",          "strict": true      },      "include": ["src"],      "exclude": ["node_modules", "**/*.spec.ts", "dist"]  }  

and partial package.json

"main": "dist/index",  "types": "src/typings/index.d.ts",  "files": [      "dist",      "src/typings/index.d.ts"  ],  

When the index.d.ts is generated inside the dist folder, it has the wrong referenced path to the typings.

import { CoolData } from "./typings";  // Cannot find module './typings' or its corresponding type declarations.  

Even though that's the case, I can still publish and use the library. However, the downside that it's returning an any type for the method.

await sampleExport([]); // return type Promise<any>  

Been trying to fix this for quite some time but to no avail. Hope that someone could help me out. Thank you.
