Officia type definitions for 5.x?

[justinfagnani]

I notice that there are no type definitions for the 5.x branch, here or in Definitely Typed. Is there a chance of getting official types with the 5.x releases?

PRs welcome for adding official types.

we could generate types via --declarationOnly in tsc if we correct all the jsdoc, but its a chunky job

so maybe for now we just store hand written types alongside the sources? i can probably have a stab at it at some point

[justinfagnani]

I'm hesitant to ask, but... it's there any appetite for a contribution of a port of the source to TypeScript syntax?

[43081j]

Tbh I would rather do that than work around it producing types from the js

If everyone's up for that I can probably sort it out

[justinfagnani]

I could contribute too, though you might be faster.

I wonder if given the existing npm scripts, if Wireit would be a good addition to make sure everything's built before other scripts that need that.

Started a draft PR here. I'll be slogging through the types and trying to get them all done before the new year but who knows how long it will take :D
