Typings Files

Would be extremely helpful, especially when using typescript

Can we get some movement on this? My company is looking to use Typescript with the Snowflake Node Connector, but there is none and I don't want to make any assumptions. It also doesn't allow for intellisense in VSCode.

We don't have a plan in the short term.

@smtakeda Are folks are interested in using typescript in the package - I can submit PRs to update the code (would be a series of PRs - one per file : to make reviews and merging simpler). This would generate typings automatically and also add type safety to the code. As part of the verification - we can test whether the current js file and the generated js file match.

Are there still issues with TypeScript types? I found @types/snowflake-sdk package, but i'm wondering about its quality (just started looking into Snowflake, so i havent tried it myself)

seeing that we did not have short term plans for this in 2019 and after 3.5 years, there are still no plans for it to my best knowledge , furthermore @types/snowflake-sdk seems to implement the requirement

considering all of the above, I'm now closing this issue . will reopen/update should the above change.

@sfc-gh-dszmolka Do you maintain @types/snowflake-sdk? I am trying to add arrayBindingThreshold connection option and forced to any cast.

edit: i made my own type if that makes the question clearer:

import snowflakeSdk from 'snowflake-sdk'; // "@types/snowflake-sdk": "^1.6.12",

export type SnowflakeConnectionOptions = {
  arrayBindingThreshold?: number
} & snowflakeSdk.ConnectionOptions;

hi @brianzinn no we do not maintain it (for now at least). their CODEOWNERS file suggests maybe you could try to contact these folks:
