Migrate codebase to Typescript

[vvscode]

What about migrating codebase to TS? Not the whole codebase in one time, but at least add support for tsc to make at possible add types further.

Well, currently is a yes and a no at the same time. I will try to explain :)
We are doing a backend in nest.js, and the frontend should be in react taking what is already done in articulate: https://github.com/samtecspg/articulate

Our code is started, of course in typescript, here https://github.com/axa-group/dost

I think that the main focus right now should be to have an MVP of the frontend of articulate, agains the backend done in nest.js (already have the API and using NLP.js). When this MVP is finished, we will continue with the focus in this codebase.

I really like this library, but it's a pain to use in TypeScript. @jesus-seijas-sp you guys wouldn't have to rewrite the whole thing you guys could publish a library in the DefinitelyTyped repo so you could have an @types/nlp.js package. It would be minimal effort.

@jesus-seijas-sp Is there any plan to support Typescript types? E.g. by creating DefinitelyTyped repo @types/node-nlp?

+1, this would be very useful

Push for the @types/node-nlp repository. It would be a really good addition.
