Publish TypeScript type definitions

[carlpaten]

TypeScript type definitions are lovely for learning a new library. I'd love to benefit from these here.

Hi there, sorry about the late response.

I agree that this would be helpful, but I don't use TypeScript for k6 scripts, and currently don't have the bandwidth to look into this. If someone else can contribute it, we'd be happy to merge it.

Hi, I have just made the definitions,

DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#65750

What do you guys think?

Hi @leandrodotec, and thanks submitting that PR.

Unfortunately, after internal discussion, the team has decided to not support type definitions for k6 extensions, including xk6-sql. This means that we can't accept a PR that adds the definitions to the @types/k6 package, since it would add a maintenance burden we currently don't have the capacity for.

We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience and miscommunication. We encourage you to either create a secondary package in the DefinitelyTyped repo which you or someone else would maintain, or to add the definitions to a fork of this repo, and import them directly from there.

When, and if, this extension becomes part of the k6 repository, then we would consider adding the definitions to @types/k6, but not before. Thanks for understanding, and sorry again.
