Add TypeScript File for Improved Type Safety

[tomashlavac]

This pull request introduces a new TypeScript file to enhance the type safety of this project. TypeScript offers static typing, enabling early detection of potential bugs and improved developer productivity. The new file includes type definitions for all functions, ensuring better code maintainability and readability.

All types are based on documentation from qz.io/api/ and manually rewritten to TS. Feel free to code review and leave comments.

Cheers

Thanks! We've been asked for this is the past, but we have no interest in maintaining such a file. For that reason we've chosen to mark such requests as wontfix. At one point we attempted to automatically convert the JSDoc to a typescript definition file and were unsuccessful in doing so. We may change our stance on this in the future if we can find a way to automate it.

Sorry, I did not mean to close this prior to conversation. 😅

Hi @tresf ,

thank you for your prompt response. I genuinely appreciate your concern regarding this matter.

Given the circumstances, I will take the necessary steps to address the issue by contributing the TypeScript file to the DefinitelyTyped repository.
