------------------------------------
Summary: Convert NodeJS Library to typescript
Key: THRIFT-4806
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4806
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Node.js - Library, TypeScript - Library
Reporter: Brian Forbis
I'd like us to consider migrating the NodeJS library to typescript. I feel this
would simplify the existing libraries and build system. The typescript library
would just need to be compiled down to javascript as part of the build system.
This will:
* Introduce compile time type checks to help catch bugs
* Provide better type documentation for consumers of the library
* Include better typescript tests in the build
* Allow us to merge the nodets and nodejs lib folders
* Synchronize the javascript codebase with the type definitions (currently,
there is an external project at DefinitelyTyped to provide typescript types for
the nodejs lib)
If the maintainers think this is a good idea, I'd be happy to take a stab at it.
