[hirako2000]

Typescript developers would benefit in having typings for whs. There are already some typings for three.js.

@hirako2000 how to implement?

[hirako2000]

Creating typings, definitelytyped

[ElectrcNINJA-zz]

I can help with this; It would be very nice to have with any project I would use WHS in.

[sasha240100]

@ElectrcNINJA would be awesome cause I am 0 at typescript. Make a fork/branch with a name "#189", work there and do a PR

typescript over flow is a good call I think

How well does TS handle static properties on a class?

Can it autosuggest a class's static properties in IDEs?

Could maybe annotate components with how they expose bridges with something like

static bridgeTypes = [ ' geometry', 'material', 'mesh', 'onWrap' ]

[hirako2000]

from my little experience with TS, types are perfectly supported, so long as the typings are well defined (and installed) for dep libraries written in JS of course.
IDEs commonly have support for TS autocompletion etc. - excellent support on Atom and VisualCode.

Best is to see int action and appreciate how good it can be to have types available, especially when learning how to use unfamiliar APIs.

If you setup a skeleton typescript project, import a poplar library such as lodash. insteall definitlytyped and lodash's typings.
