Semantic-ui-react: Add typings for typescript

[hlehmann]

Is there a way to add typings for typescript or is it already available ?

[levithomason]

We do not currently have typescript typings. I would accept PRs adding typings.

I'm not a typescript expert, but I know @davezuko has been dabbling. Any PRs should focus on components that have been updated to the v1 API first, see #269. The others will have heavy API refactoring.

I'm not a typescript user, but it seems like using something like https://github.com/typings/typings should be an end goal. Where the typings are separated and available as a standalone package. We could start them here though and port them when done.

[davezuko]

I believe with TS2.0 typings can/should be provided directly through the npm package. Regardless, it would be great to make typings available, so I will give it a shot when time allows.

[levithomason]

Awesome, I'll leave this open for that PR then.

We also use TypeScript for our project, so it would be great to have this available. I'm now writing the type definitions myself for the parts that we use. I might make a PR when I have some more available (currently only Dropdown, Input, Form and Button).

[davezuko]

I'll also keep plugging away at pushing @levithomason to consider converting the project to TS ;). A standalone definition will, of course, come first, but it's arguably something worth discussing.

[davezuko]

@dylankiss if you'd like to post your fork or open a PR, that would give us a single place to pool our contributions toward a typedef. If not, I can create one when I get some free time.

[dylankiss]

@davezuko I'll try to look into it this weekend. Clean it up a little and create a separate branch on my fork. It would indeed be cool to convert the project to TypeScript, but I guess that's definitely not a priority for now ;)

[levithomason]

There is no push back from me regarding typings or converting the project to TS. I'll merge PRs for any solid work in this area. It is however at the complete bottom of my personal priorities:

First

1. Update components to v1 APIs, see #269
2. Remove remaining jQuery, see #247
3. Port repo to Semantic-UI-React, see #243

Then

1. Complete missing doc site examples
2. Solve transitions, see #200
3. Doc site updates/refactors: Introduction page, tabbed layout (props, examples), live editor(s) / playground
4. Final brush through components

Finally (no order)

• Add missing components
• Typescript, enhancements and stuff?

@hlehmann and @dylankiss, I just created a repo for Stardust typings. Not close to complete, but gives us a place to pool contributions should you guys be interested in helping. https://github.com/TechnologyAdvice/typings-stardust.

[levithomason]

Very glad to see this 😸

[levithomason]

Closing this issue in favor of using the new repo for continued issues/PRs.

[ConneXNL]

I guess https://github.com/TechnologyAdvice/typings-stardust has to be updated ?

[levithomason]

We'll accept PRs on the typings repo, though, folks have been avoiding that while there is API churn. Once the API churn is settled, we'll move the typings into this repo.

Refer to #674 for the current work.
