Add typescript to repository

[Aveline-art]

Overview

As a developer, we need to ensure that our application is easy and quick to develop as we scale. For this issue, we will configure our project to include typescript, a library that provides type checking to catch type errors.

Action Items

• Add typescript to our stack
• Configure webpack so that typescript compiles
• Make sure that our tests also still function as intended
  • This involves getting our tests to work with webpack rather than babel, since babel is getting removed
• Configure our linters to work with ts files
• Make other edits as needed to ensure that everything works as intended
• Open issues to perform a gradual migration of our components and other basics
