why this file excluded?

[mzedel]

It has been a while since I've sat this up but if I remember correctly, the 2fa attribute name is not allowed in TS as it starts with a number and I think that was the whole reason for the workaround with the extra config file...

[mzedel]

ah well it seems to be not to be working as I expected after all: microsoft/TypeScript#7432 (comment)

[mzedel]

hmm then I will remove the extra file and... adjust the type generation to rewrite the 2fa name? or exclude the file from the barrel file? or... skip checking these types? all not exciting 😬

[mzedel]

now I ended up adjusting the type generation to ignore the include of the Settings.ts and not even try to resolve the import... So... what do you think about 73dc87c ? tolerable or too risky?

[mineralsfree]

I think it's not perfect, but acceptable, maybe we should rename 2fa to twoFA at some point?

[mzedel]

Yeah, that would be good longer term! Unfortunately I think it will break the API spec/ require a version bump just for this - so likely little appetite in the backend 😬... I'll create a ticket 👌

[mineralsfree]

do we need this file?

[mzedel]

Quite sure, see the other comment ☺️
