0.13.4 misses @types/validator about class-validator HOT 4 OPEN

While installing @types/validator as a project development dependency will fix the transpilation error messages, @SchroederSteffen, since this is a published package that is consumed by other applications, I'm more in agreement with this StackOverflow answer supporting the previous practice of keeping @types/validator in dependencies so that it's available during development without that extra step.

Updating to @nestjs/class-validator causes tsc to generate error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'validator'. I believe this shares the same root cause (removing @types/validator from package.json dependencies) as issue #1412 & issue #1535 in the original typestack/class-validator library from which this repository was forked.

Thanks for the hint @KeithGillette! So, it's an upstream issue. (typestack@70278ab / typestack#1409).
Though, having a @types/ production dependency wouldn't be right anyways, as it's just required for the build. So, I would assume that it's more correct now. Agreed?
Then it's rather a documentation issue: "You need to npm i -D @types/validator yourself."

If someone wants to create a PR to this fork adding the validator declaration files, go for it! Contributions are more than welcome
