Migrate codebase to ES8/TypeScript? #100

Open ZeevKatz opened 4 years ago

ZeevKatz commented 4 years ago

What do you think guys about migrating Zdog codebase to ES8/TypeScript? 💪 It will improve coding time and let new people that want to contribute this project an easier start point.

I think this is a good idea. But migrating this codebase to typescript can be more difficult than reimplementing the library. If you want to use it with typescript you can install the definitions.

@demensky My suggestion was not for using Zdog with TypeScript but to improve the codebase and encourage contribution. I can take the challenge but we’ll need to do it step-by-step and keep a long live branch until we finish, what do you think?

demensky commented 4 years ago

Let's try.

ZeevKatz commented 4 years ago

@demensky Can you please open a new branch for this? (migrate-to-typescript)

I do not have permission for this repository. I was just creating definitions.

  1. I'm open to migrating to ES8. This will likely happen in the next major version upgrade
  2. Yes, I should add TypeScript definition at least. But I prefer keeping the source code in vanilla JavaScript that can be run right in the browser without compilation.

I've been taking a break from Metafizzy development. I may evaluate this in 2021
