TypeScript type definitions

[aberenyi]

Hiya,

It would be extremely useful if one could import mongojs in a native typescript way, i.e. import * as mongojs from 'mongojs', however, a type definition file is not available on DefinitelyTyped (yet).

I am aware that there is a project called mongots, but that does not seem very active.

Thoughts?

Cheers

Definitely interesting - but we'll need the one that creates the typescript file 😄

[aberenyi]

Haha, understood. Will try to carve out time to do it.

Hey guys,

I started by drafting a Database.d.ts. See this Gist.

The problem is that there are no JSDoc comments in the lib-folder files. Therefore it is sometimes hard to tell:

• What the expected patterns for callback parameters are?

• Which function parameters are required and which can be omitted?

• What do some of the options parameters look like?

Also for example if I look up the database.close() documentation in the current README.md it states:

• db.close()

But the code actually looks like:

• function (force, cb)

So with a little more information I would be happy to finish the task. I also would suggest to include the types into the mongojs project itself instead of putting them into DefinitelyTyped, but this is just a suggestion.

Also a general question, is this repo still being maintained?

Repo is maintained, my reaction time sometimes a bit high 😢

Will merge a PR with the typescript definitions file. Your starting gist looks good - we can polish the API during the PR or after merging the PR if that's ok?

@Kaesebrot84 I see the gist is gone.

Does anyone have a copy of the type definitions? I see its not on Definitely Typed yet either.

Any updates on this? Gist is MIA and i dont see any PR for this.

[Kaesebrot84]

I am very sorry but I accidentally deleted the gist.
I contacted github support about this issue and will keep you updated on this topic.

[Kaesebrot84]

Seems like they are unable to recover it.

Hey, any updates on typescript definitions?

Hey, any updates on typescript definitions?

I have switched to the mongodb package instead. It has types and full documentation.

ok
