Typescript as supported language for schema output

[urianawu]

Our team uses Grafana Cloud as our main monitoring platform and is looking to scale by investing in IaC. While Grafonnet(jsonnet) is the official IaC library, I was wondering whether the team would consider supporting Typescript?

Reasons for why Typescript support can help:

• Most of the developers developing in our code base's expertise is in front-end. Typescript support will make it easier for developers to provision dashboards via code.
• I have found a couple open API schema to TS converters (openapi-typescript etc.) so it potentially is self-service to generate the TS types. However maintaining the TS types would be the issue as re-generating is required with any schema update in Grafana.

Hey!

Generating Typescript output is something we're indeed interested in :)

It won't be done using grok though, as we decided to abandon this experiment.

Instead of grok, we're using cog to generate both types and builder libraries in a range of languages, including Typescript. You can find a preview of these generated outputs in grafana-foundation-sdk

This is awesome news! Upon a quick scan the new sdk has everything we need, I will definitely try them out.
