Generate a TypeScript Definition file as part of the build

[ritch]

This should be possible using either the JSDoc comments or remoting metadata.

See #1415 for original question that sparked this feature request.

@M-jerez Good pointer. I'll take a look.

BTW, our tooling team has built the following plugin for Visual Studio code:

https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix/vscode-extension-api-connect

It generates the following typescript d.ts file:

apiConnect.d.ts.txt

Hi,

i tried Qeti's fork of loopback-sdk-angular & loopback-sdk-angular-cli who generates typescript files.

You can take a look here:

Based on the work on the qeti fork, there is :

I dont know why everytime the same people rate down the post, Beeman or somebody else - feel free to tell us why you don't like that people want to keep this issue alive?

[beeman]

@dasoli it's annoying to see just an +1 added to an issue. Everybody gets notified without any news, that kind of defeats the purpose of keeping the issue alive because nothing changed.

If you want to express that you'd like to see this issue solved you can use the thumbs up icon on the opening post.

Edit: it got mentioned here but since almost nobody tends to read they just blindly keep on adding +1's, triggering a reaction with others... :)

[geminiyellow]

@beeman no no, Reactions not send a notification, single comment dose. that means, everybody want to know the status about this issues.they push this project move. if you dont like it, you can set no watch , or, if maintainer dont like it, they can lock this issue.

[bdharrington7]

Sooo given the number of +1's (both reactions and comments) is this being prioritized at all?

[zbarbuto]

@bdharrington7 Given that the Loopback SDK Builder exists, probably not.

[bdharrington7]

@zbarbuto what if I don't want to use Angular?

LoopBack version 3 is in LTS, we won't be adding any new features.
