Followup: Types

[Gozala]

#802 has deliberately opt-ed out couple of modules from TS checking with an intent to address that in followups. This is an issue to track that effort.

What are we missing / What is next?

• Chore/add typedefs peerstore book template 2 #831
• Event Emitters
  • @Gozala created https://www.npmjs.com/package/typed-events.ts for the EventEmitter typedefs ❤️ .
    After syncing with him, we might want to get the declaration file from there in and use https://www.npmjs.com/package/proper-event-emitter per fix: event handlers error #761 (we also have emittery and some modules and we need to double check ig we should just use it).
• Improve Circuit Message definitions
  • Chore/add typedefs peerstore book template 2 #831 (comment)
• DHT should have typedefs for its options
• Metrics and Latency monitor needs to be finished (currently @ts-nocheck)
• Keychain (currently @ts-nocheck)
  • Needs feat: ts types, github ci and clean up ipfs/interface-datastore#56 + keychain types
• Configuration Options
  • Probably together with Improve libp2p config #576

Thanks @Gozala ! Just added a checklist of things that need to be done in follow up

I found that the Libp2pModules type for the config is missing keys for peerDiscovery and dht.

[vasco-santos]

Yes, thanks for adding that! We still need to create interfaces for peerDiscovery, peerRouting and so on to add the types here. For now they should be accepted as any while we finish that

[peterbraden]

Has anyone started working on the types for DHT etc? If not, I plan on creating a PR for these today.

[vasco-santos]

Hey @peterbraden

Thanks for reaching out. It is not released yet but we just got types for the DHT per libp2p/js-libp2p-kad-dht#214 This does not include integration of the DHT config types in libp2p core as this issue is tracking.

You can see the broad state of types in #659 . If you would like to help out in any other module let me know

[peterbraden]

Ah, awesome, thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I'll try these out locally, and get back to you if there are any other modules we use that I can contribute to.

I found that the Libp2pModules type for the config is missing keys for peerDiscovery and dht.

It is also missing the key for pubsub.

[vasco-santos]

If someone would like to help getting this to the finish line would be super helpful

@achingbrain @wemeetagain @maschad is this related to multiformats/js-multiformats#249 ?
