TypeScript type definition

[saoudrizwan]

I just published type definitions https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/braintree-web-drop-in

This isn't something we have planned at the moment, but we'll update this issue if that changes!

@grippstick we don't maintain the type definitions for the core sdk or drop-in.

The next major version of each is being written in Typescript, so these type definition files will be unnecessary then.

Got it, makes sense since the main Braintree module doesn't have a first-party type definition (unless @types/braintree-web is maintained by Braintree).

Went ahead and submitted a separate ticket to DefinitelyTyped: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#16474

I am trying to use @types/braintree-web-drop-in, but I am finding an error. Specifically it seems that the drop in is conflicting with braintree-web.

It says "Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type. Variable 'braintree' must be of type 'typeof import("../node_modules/@types/braintree-web/index")', but here has type '{ dropin:{create(options:Options, callback:{error:object,dropin:Dropin) => void):void; create(options:Options):Promise;};}'."

The project is an empty project where I ran the npm install and thats it. The error is coming directly from the definition file, so i think it has to be in there somewhere.

I am going to work around it by moving removing references to outside of the drop-in and replacing them with any, which sort of defeats the purpose.

I am just checking in to make sure I wasn't missing something, because I really want to use this definition.

@crookedneighbor Thanks for the info. For now, I just marked a bunch of things as "any" and I am making progress.

I knew you all didn't maintain it. I was hoping @saoudrizwan noticed my comment and pointed me in the right direction.

You know the standard internet protocol of relying on the help of strangers :)
