Types for Braintree Node.js library

[AllanSimoyi]

Haven't been able to find any typings for Braintree. The only typings i have come across are for braintree-web, none for the server-side library.

Can someone assist regarding this?

I assume you mean for Typescript or something similar. Braintree doesn't use Typescript when developing this library (the braintree-web one is community created, not made by Braintree), so we don't have a type file for it.

If you'd like to provide your own type file for it, you can open a PR on https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

+1 for type definitions; it seems the Braintree API docs would be a pretty good place to look for anyone able to start with that.

Perhaps a path forward would be similar to that taken by Stripe, where the community has created the type definitions and this repo would just contain documentation on how to use them.

+1 for type definitions. Many serious financial projects use static type checking and typescript in common to minimise amount of errors in production.

For reference, a definition was published on DefinitelyTyped: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/braintree
