THRIFT-2522 TypeScript extension for Thrift Compiler

[ghost]

Adds the possibility to generate TypeScript Definition Files in addition to the generated JavaScript code (new parameter 'ts').
Supports JQuery, NodeJS support will come soon.

Thanks a lot Pascal!
It's looking good. I have also added a sub-section to the lib/js/README.md, please fell free to add more info or a simple example of usage there. Looking forward to seeing the node.js support ;)

NodeJS support will come soon

Any update on NodeJS support?

Not contributed before but happy to work on this if no one is.

I was wondering the same thing.
For now I'm writting the libdefs myself, but it would be a nice addition for sure.

We have a ts target?

Apparently :p
It generates definition files that matches the js target, but it looks like there is no equivalent for js:node.
