Typings for individual ES modules

[osdiab]

Given #2355 , I looked into importing the functions directly, but unfortunately there are only TypeScript typings for importing the "ramda" module directly rather than specific modules like "ramda/es/pick" or "ramda/es/isNil". For my own project I'm just writing quick wrappers like so:

declare module "ramda/es/pick" {
  import * as R from "ramda";
  const pick: typeof R.pick;
  export default pick;
}

But presumably we should be able to just autogenerate all of these in DefinitelyTyped. If I get the time to work on it I'll take a look at doing that but until then if someone else wants to do it feel free.

Ah, I updated my create-react-app to 2.0, so it now uses webpack 4, and the bundle size looks much smaller. Given that, I probably won't prioritize this anymore, but if someone else has that problem then maybe you can make this happen.

@osdiab I use the babel-plugin-ramda and it works wonders in my ES6 project. Not sure about the TypeScript but I see no reason why it wouldn't work.

EDIT: This means that (if you don't already) you have to use both TS and Babel to compile your code, but it's not a big change, iirc.

Yeah, like I mentioned, webpack@4 also works wonders. Glad that babel-plugin-ramda also works for you. Just, for those who don't have the nice tree shaking tools but do use TypeScript, it would be nice to have typings per file. But like I mentioned, no longer essential to me since webpack@4 seems to do the trick.
