How to declare the types definitions .types.d.ts in VSCode/Sublime Text

[darkred]

Greetings @tophf

I'm trying to declare the types definitions in https://github.com/tophf/mpiv/blob/master/.types.d.ts .
The editors I use are latest VSCode and Sublime Text 3
(the former has TypeScript language support but does not include the TypeScript compiler, tsc --- the latter needs a package to offer support) .
(Unfortunately I couldn't find any info in https://definitelytyped.org/directory/tools.html, nor anything related to "userscripts and .types.d.ts" in general).

As I see in this SO answer I need a tsconfig.json .
Could you please share your tsconfig.json ? (and maybe upload it in the repo?) And, should I do anything else in order for it to work at least in VSCode?
Or, if you don't use these editors, could you offer some info on the editor you use?

Thank you

I don't have a tsconfig though, that file is just automatically recognized as a part of the project so I have no idea how to replicate it, I don't even use TypeScript, it was just for fun. If you find the proper method, just open a PR.

BTW do you actually know TS? All types are used by each other there, at least this is how I intended it.

Why remove it?

All types are used by each other there, at least this is how I intended it.

Of all the 16 types declared in there:

• only 1 type is actually used in the script, Config.
• 3 are found only in JSDoc comments,
• for the rest 12 I did a search e.g. for PopupInfo or GalleryItem and there were no matches.

Therefore all but 1 type should all be removed, if I'm not mistaken.

I know a few things about TS. I wanted to make use of that TS types file, because you use it: you are much more experienced than me, and I'd to learn and follow your way/tools of programming.

JSDoc comments are used by IDE so all the types are used. Note that many of them are supplementary types used by other types.

Ok. Thanks for your time and info.
