Port to TypeScript #72

Closed alexanderdean closed 3 years ago

alexanderdean commented 10 years ago

See this intro here: http://10consulting.com/2012/10/12/introduction-to-typescript-presentation/

Porting to TypeScript is quite well aligned with the Snowplow tech goal of strongly typed data pipelines.

Unlike CoffeeScript, TS doesn't introduce any of its own design weirdnesses.

It looks like we can do a "soft" port to TypeScript by:

  1. Renaming our files from .js to .ts (!)
  2. Integrate https://github.com/k-maru/grunt-typescript into the build process

I'm interested as a first step to try this and see what the resulting JavaScript looks like. Is it still pretty efficient?

Let's schedule for 1.1.0

This is ambitious - let's move back to 1.2.0...

Moving back again

We even can publish definition files for stringly-typed method like snowplow_name_here('trackEvent')https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/types-2.0/google.analytics/index.d.ts

Cool idea!

Good opportunity to do this as we move to v3.
