Ts files in pro version

andrea.pirola · January 24, 2018, 8:09am

Hi,
I’m currently using the CE version of handsontable, but since I’m interested in a couple of functionalities of the pro version I did download that version too.
Now I did notice that in the pro bundle there is no .d.ts file (the definition files. not the sources) .
Is it because it is an evaluation version? In the licensed version would I get it?

Hi @andrea.pirola

currently, we have one typescript file for both versions at

github.com

handsontable/handsontable/blob/master/handsontable.d.ts

import { PikadayOptions } from "pikaday";

/**
 * @internal
 * Omit properties K from T
 */
type Omit<T, K extends keyof T> = Pick<T, ({ [P in keyof T]: P } & { [P in K]: never } & { [x: string]: never, [x: number]: never })[keyof T]>;
// type Omit<T, K extends keyof T> = Pick<T, Exclude<keyof T, K>>; // TS >= 2.8

declare namespace _Handsontable {

  class Core {
    constructor(element: Element, options: Handsontable.GridSettings);
    addHook<K extends keyof Handsontable.Hooks.Events>(key: K, callback: Handsontable.Hooks.Events[K] | Handsontable.Hooks.Events[K][]): void;
    addHookOnce<K extends keyof Handsontable.Hooks.Events>(key: K, callback: Handsontable.Hooks.Events[K] | Handsontable.Hooks.Events[K][]): void;
    alter(action: 'insert_row' | 'insert_col' | 'remove_row' | 'remove_col', index?: number | Array<[number, number]>, amount?: number, source?: string, keepEmptyRows?: boolean): void;
    clear(): void;
    colOffset(): number;
    colToProp(col: number): string | number;
    countCols(): number;

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer.
In this case I have another question. I’m interested in the formulation plugin.
Looking at the documentation, in order to enable it, I should set “formulas: true” in the settings of the handsontable, but the definition ts file doesn’t contain it.
So, is there any way for managing plugins through typescript?
And, more in general, do you plan to extend the typescript support in future releases?

Yes, definitely there are some things that we need to change or add.
I hope that we will be able to check this PR next week https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/pull/4689/files
When it comes to formulas they will be written for a scratch this year so we are not doing any changes for them right now.
