Brian Forbis created THRIFT-4806: ------------------------------------ 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
