ETA on TypeScript's type definitions? :)

[iam3yal]

Just a quick question and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I read the following in the docs:

We plan on creating Type Definitions for our adapters in the future so that TypeScript users can validate that their interface conforms correctly to the adapter's specification.

I wonder whether there's any ETA on this or progress made as I'm currently investigating technologies for a new website and I really like the philosophy behind MDC-Web and it would be really awesome to have type definitions, it wouldn't be a blocker for me though.

I wish we could provide an ETA, but unfortunately we only have enough bandwidth to add Closure annotations (which Google uses internally) right now 🙁

That said, anyone from the community is more than welcome to create and maintain a set of definitions in DefinitelyTyped 🙂

@acdvorak I'll see what I can do about that once I'll start, thank you. :)

@acdvorak The DefinitelyTyped folk just merged DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#23179 which should resolve this issue. The types are based on v0.26.0 but should be a good starting point for anyone wanting to update them to the current version. I skimmed 0.29 and not much looked different.

@BrentDouglas do you believe it would be possible to automate this process at all? It seems like the documentation has up to date information and could be converted

How can this be closed when the DefinitelyTyped definitions are (by definition pretty much) always behind the schedule?

[iam3yal]

@ciriousjoker, @pspeter3 I've reopened the issue.

I think this can be closed now that #4225 is closed too (and all the built packages have correct type definitions AND types field on package.json), right?

Yup, that's correct. Thanks for pointing it out!
