Describe the feature you'd like to request

The typings for the aws-amplify js library are lacking in a lot of places, and the lack of support from the aws team is concerning.

See: #4927
There was one response from an official contributor (@sammartinez), which was obviously not helping, to be honest. A lot of projects, nowadays, use typescript and therefore require accurate typings. The issue is older than a year and the problem hasn't even been addressed properly yet, at least from what I've read.

The issue should not have been closed.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add proper types that accurately match the actual object.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Writing my own types, which I have. That should not be considered a solution tho

Would you mind sharing your custom types, @John0x?

I support this feature request, for example, i'm trying to guess what to pass to this Amplify.configure(). According to reference this is what i got:
https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-js/api/classes/amplify.html#configure
and this
https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/blob/a047ce73/packages/core/src/Amplify.ts#L37
Therefore i have no idea how to use this except by researching for some example.

I think it would be good to collect together some of the typings that the community has created to see where the gaps are.
