TypeScript definitions for global APIs about socket HOT 2 CLOSED

Hmm. Seems like we might be able to find a build tool out there that generated typescript types from these JSDoc annotations...

https://github.com/socketsupply/io/blob/master/fs/index.js#L68-L75

/**
 * Asynchronously check access a file for a given mode calling `callback`
 * upon success or error.
 * @see {@link https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v16.x/docs/api/fs.html#fsopenpath-flags-mode-callback}
 * @param {string | Buffer | URL} path
 * @param {string=} [mode = F_OK(0)]
 * @param {function(err, fd)} callback
 */

I'm curious more generally why the Socket team has decided not to use Typescript though. It's such a lovely language. 😄

There are some .d.ts files that we have internally. The plan so far is to add types to the io module. The existing type file is becoming out of date though as the APIs are changing rapidly.

I have been using a jsconfig.json file to good success.

A plan is to add types once the system interface stabilizes.
