[TypeScript] full support ✨🤖

[Mimikkk]

I've been working for a couple of hours to add typescript support to the project. It encompasses tests, utils and so on. Bumped vitest to 1.1.1 and did a few minor tweaks due to typing.

Changes:

• typescript 5.3.3 support.
• vite for building minified solution in both commonjs and esmodules formats.
• prettier for code formatting.
• concurrently/rimraf/copyfiles for support building on linux/windows/macos.
• vite allowed me to split files into utils / types and index for ease of development

Added scripts:

• build: builds the package into the build directory using vite. It clears the build/ directory, then it runs build process,
• build:clear: clears the build/ directory
• build:types: emits the typescript definitions into the build/ directory
• build:lib: build and minifies the package into the build/ directory

I moved the dynamically created class Chat outside the Gemini class and added exported createGemini function for the ease of creation multiple instances.

hey @EvanZhouDev can you merge this? I would love to have full typescript support on the official package.

I might be dumb but how do you build and publish the package @Mimikkk? I've tried with npm publish and vite build but they don't seem to work.

Hello @yoroshikun @kcoderhtml @Mimikkk, sorry for the super late response.

I know most likely you're not using this package anymore, but I thought I'd still update you on what's going on. I've been extremely busy for the past few months on work and other projects, so I haven't been able to catch up with gemini-ai recently. Furthermore, I have not decided to merge this branch because of a few refactors I've been doing, as well as the fact that it has seemed to stray a bit too far from the original.

However, seeing as Google has released Gemini 1.5 Flash today, I will be coming back to this project. Expect a relatively large update in the next few weeks, featuring types, updated streaming support, as well as better support by default for the new models.

As for this,

I might be dumb but how do you build and publish the package @Mimikkk? I've tried with npm publish and vite build but they don't seem to work.

only the original publisher can update the package to NPM 😅

Thanks! Looking forward to trying the updated package!

I believe I was trying to rebuild the package and deploy to my NPM account, but I can't remember at this point what I was trying to do :)

I have finished the initial rewrite in TypeScript, which is now available on the v2 branch. It supports a bunch of improvements and some new features, which I will have to document 😅... it is still completely backward compatible, but I thought a ground-up rewrite deserves a major version bump.

Edit: PR now available at #9

[kcoderhtml]

Thank you!!! Looking forward to trying it out!

Full TypeScript support, along with a bunch of great new features are now available on NPM. Will be closing this for now. Feel free to continue on this thread (or start a new issue) if anything needs to be fixed!
