feat: typescript types

[aldarund]

fixes #26

[maoberlehner]

Hello @aldarund! Thank you for your contribution!

Do you have any experience how other projects deal with the challenge of keeping the types and the code in sync? If I or somebody else makes a change which breaks the compatibility with the types can we somehow detect this automatically? Thx!

[aldarund]

I`m not aware of such way, that would be anyhow reliable. Unless the lib itself written in typescript :) Although i dont have a lot of typescript experience.

Sorry, but this means I can't merge this. Maintaining Open Source projects is a lot of work and unfortunately only very few people actively create pull requests like you do (Thanks for that!).

Having to keep the types in sync, every time I change the code, makes it even more work for me.

Only way is that you promise me that I can ping you every time I make an update and you keep the types in sync. Otherwise this either complicates my work or the types quickly are out of sync and become useless or even harmful.

[aldarund]

You can ping me :)

Thanks @aldarund ! You rock.

@maoberlehner If you merge this, I can finally convert some of my components to use TypeScript that really need it 😀

[maoberlehner]

@aldarund sounds good :)

Anything we can do to get this into the core too? I would offer to refactor the whole library to typsescript. Which would make your question obsolete for maintaing the types ;)

how other projects deal with the challenge of keeping the types and the code in sync?

@maoberlehner In Vue 2.x they kept them in sync manually like a lot of other repo owners do. In vue 3, they use typescript directly.
