Hi all,

Since there now exists official TypeScript-types from Enonic , I have changed the purpose of “my” enonic-types package, to provide types for the libraries that doesn’t have official types yet.

Examples of these libraries are:

• cache
• menu
• graphql
• guillotine
• http-client
• thymeleaf
• [and many more…]

These types are completely compatible with the new official types, and they are published under the npm organization @item-enonic-types.

To use them you can just npm-install them individually (from this list), or install the good-old enonic-types to pull in all of them (as well as the official types).

You will also need to update your tsconfig.json like this (to include libraries under @item-enonic-types).

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "types": ["node", "@item-enonic-types/global"],
    "rootDirs": [
      "./src/main/resources",
      "./.xp-codegen"
    ],
    "paths": {
      "/lib/xp/*": ["./node_modules/@enonic-types/lib-*"],
      "/lib/*": [
         "./node_modules/@item-enonic-types/lib-*" ,
         "./src/main/resources/lib/*"
      ],
      "/site/*": ["./.xp-codegen/site/*"]
    }
  }
}

Good job Enonic

I think @mta (and others) has done a fantastic job with the new official TypeScript-types , and I’m really looking forward to using them in my new project.

I would recommend everyone to migrate/upgrade to the official types, and I have created a small migration guide here for some of the changes you need to be aware of. (If you find something particularly challanging in the upgrade, please do a PR to that migration guide to give tips to others).

Good luck TypeScripters! The future is looking good for us!

Hi again,

And just a little shameless plug here.

If you are planning to start using TypeScript now – with the new official types from Enonic – I recommend that you have a look at xp-codegen-plugin.

It is a Gradle-plugin that generates TypeScript interfaces based on the xml-files in your project, so you don’t have to write these interfaces yourself.

Thanks for all your help on getting the new TypeScript support released and tested @tom - it would not have been the same without your help!
