> Note 🚨: If you delete the `node_modules` directory, you'll need to re-run the
> command to get proper typings again.

For convenience, you can add a `postinstall` script to your `package.json`, so
you don't have to think about this every time you re-install your dependencies.

```json title="package.json"
"scripts": {
  "gen:theme-typings": "chakra-cli tokens <path/to/your/theme.(js|ts)>",
  "postinstall": "npm run gen:theme-typings"
}
```
