How do i use Strapi's auto-generate typescript types?

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

I know there is a Shared type, and that I could probably import that:

import { Shared } from '@strapi/types';

And then

type RetailPointsPage = Shared.ContentTypes['api::blog-post.blog-post'];

But this doesn’t seem to work, and importing like this is cumbersome.

Is there maybe some configuration I have to add, to be able to import proper types?

But I would not call it less cumbersome
