TypeScript support

[kmturley]

According to GitHut, TypeScript is now the #5th most popular language on github: https://madnight.github.io/githut/#/pull_requests/2020/3

Can you either add types directly to the package or update documentation on how to do it manually?

npm install cli-table
npm install --save @types/cli-table

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "esModuleInterop": true
  }
}

index.ts

import Table from 'cli-table';

You'll save every developer 10 minutes :)

Good suggestion @kmturley . A PR would be even more welcome if you feel like you want to contribute. :)

Any updates on this? I can submit a PR if you like. I can also port this for Deno if you like. Porting might take sometimes but for the TS, I can finish it this week

@yakesho a PR would be great, thank you! :)

@chrean The project seems to use old JavaScript syntax. Mind if I change it and use ES6 syntax? (e.g. class, const, etc...)

[chrean]

That's quite a task but much appreciated if you like to contribute!

One more thing, expresso seems unmaintained. Mind if I use a newer and maintained test framework (like mocha or jest). Other than that, I am already working on the project (just to let you know)

[chrean]

Switching to jest was in my plans but then I got caught away with other stuff, so that'd be great.

i have just updated ~(not merged yet)~ @types/cli-table. i will also add them here but i expect that a pr to DefinitelyTyped gets merged faster :)

EDIT: merged now
