Types for OOjs & OOUI?

[diskdance]

Hi.

Gadgets interacting with users make use of OOUI and OOjs a lot, it would be nice if their types are added here. Are there any plans towards this? Thank you.

There are types for OOjs in npm from DefinitelyTyped. (@types/oojs) However, unfortunately, there aren't for OOUI.

Types for OOUI are waiting for review at DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#63675.

EDIT: It has been published on npm at @types/oojs-ui.

We can probably include @types/oojs and @types/oojs-ui as dependencies, but before this there is another problem that currently I am the only owner of these two packages, meaning every PR to them is required to be reviewed by myself. This is a single point of failure so I hope someone else is willing to become additional owners, thanks.

@diskdance thanks for publishing the types for oojs/ui. However, I don't think this library should specify them as dependencies as OOUI is not used in the core JS interface which this library represents (as is the case with jQuery), and also as OOUI is on its way out and most user scripts and gadgets today are not using it anyway. I think they're better kept as separate libraries - much like @types/jqueryui which is also not a dependency. But feel free to include a note about them in this repo's README!

Mentioned in #20.

Update: they were eventually added as dependencies, via #33.
