conflicting and duplicate types when generating types for multiple networks, in the same project about api

[jacogr]

It is certainly intended - the typegen is not a free for all - if networks have different types, it would certainly conflict.

The api itself generates types for Substrate, Kusama & Polkadot, see https://github.com/polkadot-js/api/tree/master/packages/api-augment/src. They are completely split (so it is possible to generate seperate types), but it is certainly not intended that you can include all three at any point in time. Types are static and cannot be magically injected into TS based on a per-network basis, like metadata.

Because of the static nature of types -

1. You can generate types for all networks you desire
2. You can only include one network per codebase to allow TS to type-check

If you try and add multiples to the same codebase, you will be in a world of hurt since they will overlap.
