What about new typings delivery mechanism via `npm I @types` [1]. What they are saying is that "The major and minor version number of the types package will match the version of the underlying package, with the patch version tracking the version of the definition file", so you can request typings for any particular version of plugin. Also, there are already some definitions for cordova plugins published under this namespace: [2] -- [1] https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2016/06/15/the-future-of-declaration-files/ [2] https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40types%2Fcordova - Best regards, Vladimir -----Original Message----- From: Jimmy Thomson [mailto:jitho...@microsoft.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2016 8:50 PM To: dev@cordova.apache.org Subject: Managing typescript typings for Cordova and plugins Hello, I'm looking at improving our vscode extension for Cordova development. Currently we bundle a set of typings for Cordova and some plugins with the extension, and we use these typings to provide intellisense even for plain javascript projects. I would like to improve this by using the correct typings for the actual version of Cordova and the plugins that are being used with the project. Right now the only typings that I am aware of are in the definitelytyped git repository, and they reflect the "latest as of when they were made" version of Cordova / the plugins. The "typings" tool for typescript typings can access these typings, but it has no knowledge of what version the typings are for, and I also don't believe it supports referencing a particular commit from definitelytyped either. In an ideal world (from my perspective at least) typings for Cordova and the plugins would be migrated to other npm packages and referenced by the plugin/cordovan pm packages, or otherwise added to the typings ecosystem. That would allow someone to simply "typings install cordova@6.1.0<mailto:cordova@6.1.0> cordova-plugin-geolocation@1.0.1<mailto:cordova-plugin-geolocation@1.0.1> --global" and know that the typings reflect the particular versions that they are using. Are there any plans to do this going forwards? Or if not, would there be objections to someone else registering the typings with https://github.com/typings/registry ?
