Enable custom task development in TypeScript

[dfenerski]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to develop custom tasks using type hints / TypeScript? Forgive me if there is a sample somewhere, I could find none.

The docs are of course good but having the hints inside the editor would speed up custom task development greatly

Thanks & BR

Hi @dfenerski, documentation is not there but there are a few UI5 Tooling extensions available written in TS e.g. https://github.com/ui5-community/ui5-ecosystem-showcase/tree/main/packages/ui5-middleware-onelogin. But for sure, we should enhance our documentation.

Please also see https://github.com/SAP/ui5-tooling/issues/651 . The mentioned backlog item CPOUI5FOUNDATION-547 is still open, although some preparation work was done in the recent weeks.
