Unfortunately I'm broke right now but this is very very helpful! I will add this to the documentation. Thank you so much!

Maybe I need to reword the issue bot to indicate that I'm open to paid consulting to fix issues instead of what it currently says.

Sorry I just thought it was a funny reply, didn't mean anything by it :)

So to be clear, the types definition file should be .tsx?
