Auth0.js: Question : is there also a typescript version from this library?

[StefH]

Is there also a typescript version from this library?

Because using this project in a Angular 4 typescript project is done with import * as auth0 from 'auth0-js'; which doesn't give any type/syntax checking.

Installing the most recent @types (npm i --save-dev @types/auth0-js) makes it incompatible with some functions like authorize.

No. Right now, there is no official typescript or flow type definition. @types/auth0-js is maintained by the community.

[StefH]

This is really a missed opportunity to make this library easily usable in a typescript project.

The type definition is here: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/auth0-js/index.d.ts
The authorize method definition is here: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/auth0-js/index.d.ts#L190
The original code is here: https://github.com/auth0/auth0.js/blob/master/src/web-auth/index.js#L444

Based on that, what error are you having? Can you fix the issue and submit a PR to the type definition file? That would be super cool.

We have a lot of other priorities now, that's why we are not committing time to this. I think the community is doing an amazing job at maintaining the definition file even including stuff that is not fully documented yet like Cross Origin Authentication

[StefH]

In the sample project the authorize is used without params. But the definition defines 1 param.

I will take a look if I can submit a PR.

You can submit a PR with authorize(options?: AuthorizeOptions): void;. This will make the options object optional.
