TypeScript type definition

[Jameskmonger]

It would be good to have the typings for chalk distributed with the npm package:

• Easier to use with TypeScript (no external dependencies needed)
• Easier to ensure that the typings are in sync with the library
• Easier for users to be more confident that the typings are in sync

I usually don't do this, for reasons outlined in sindresorhus/ama#439, but since Chalk is one of the most popular packages on npm, I'm gonna accept it if you or someone else can commit to maintain it.

Since I write quite a bit of TypeScript, I could write a typing for Chalk and maintain it... That wouldn't be an issue.

[sindresorhus]

@basedjux That would be awesome. Pull request welcome :)

[corbin-r]

@sindresorhus cool!
I'll get working on that 😄

[corbin-r]

Never mind @sindresorhus, looks like someone beat me to it writing a definition:

[sindresorhus]

That one is very outdated.

[corbin-r]

Ah yeah it is, 3 months.
Okay I'll write the updated one.

[sindresorhus]

It's based on a more than 2 year old Chalk version.

[corbin-r]

Yeesh yeah that's scary outdated.

[Jameskmonger]

@basedjux @sindresorhus Is this going to be distributed with the npm package? I think that's the best way to create a seamless experience.

[sindresorhus]

Yes

@basedjux We just bumped to v2 by the way :)

[corbin-r]

@Qix- Yeah, I saw the tweet!
I'll be looking at those API changes.

[sindresorhus]

This was added in v2.2.0.
