This PR is informed by a problem brought up in: #174
We currently export
TaskSet
andTask
types, which are really internal types. What we want is for users to deal with a genericTask
type that encompasses the union of those interfaces. We already have that, inTaskBase
, but the nameTaskBase
suggests that users should look for something more specific, so it might be a good idea to change it.So this PR renames
Task
toSingleTask
, and hides it from JSDoc, meaning that it won't be exported for use in IntelliSense. We also hidTaskSet
in a previous PR.This PR then renames
TaskBase
toTask
and keeps it for IntelliSense use.This is obviously a breaking change, but we are only recently paying close attention to the IntelliSense usage so this slipped under our radar. I'm happy to discuss alternatives or workarounds, this is just here to open a discussion, unless folks feel comfortable merging.
An outstanding "problem" is that TaskSet and SingleTask are still exported in src/classes.ts so I believe users still have access to it even if we hide them in JSDocs. We should consider doing a sweep over those exports and removing unwanted declarations.
Thanks!
