Integrating ES6/TypeScript

[cplpearce]

Hello!

Our team is looking at integrating this library into a TypeScript frontend project.

We would like to begin building out a TypeScript compliant branch and just wanted to check if any of the maintainers have any comments, questions or suggestions before we begin.

We would like to keep it OS, hosted in this repo if possible!

Thanks!

Hi @cplpearce, how far along are you on supporting TypeScript right now?

Our team has also been using this project in more modern front-end application and we have a current implementation of generating types from the JSDoc annotations using tsd-jsdoc. This method allows for the current JavaScript to remain relatively untouched while also supporting TypeScript.

We were going to open a PR here soon with the type generation script and JSDoc annotation updates. There would also be a separate PR in DefinitelyTyped to add a new open-dis module. It would be installed like other type modules: npm install --save-dev @types/open-dis.
