feat: add ts types

[hacdias]

That ^

[hacdias]

@hugomrdias all files seem to be exporting all constants and codecs in types.ts which would increase the bundle size way too much. Do you have any recommendation on how to avoid that? I understand it's related to the @typedef declaration. I could just import them inline, but that would be quite ugly.

One more question: are the types automatically generated by the release command? Didn't see any information.

left some comments everything else looks good

i dont understand what you mean, are you talking about the .d.ts ? bundle size is not affected by this.

yes plus docs based on the types, aegir ts -p docs or aegir docs to check the docs.

@hugomrdias just updated according to your comments. However, the generation of the docs fail:

Looking at constants.d.ts, I don't think this is what we want. Before it would just say CodecNumber instead of listing all the numbers.

And this causes the error:

[hugomrdias]

humm it should work check this https://multiformats.github.io/js-multihash/index.html

[hugomrdias]

ah got it, define the Record in typescript like this https://github.com/multiformats/js-multihash/blob/master/src/types.ts

[hacdias]

@hugomrdias unfortunately, the same error persists

[hacdias]

It keeps generating these like that.

[hugomrdias]

this will cause the error you are seeing, use the types in types.ts instead

[hacdias]

If I use types.ts, then it will complain it's a recursive dependency, because types.ts gets the types from base-table. I'm separating them now. I'll need to generate two files this way anyways.

The commit I just pushed works! not pushed...

[hugomrdias]

ahhh right thats why i just ignore this type in multihash https://github.com/multiformats/js-multihash/blob/master/src/constants.js#L16 😱

[hacdias]

Pushed

[hacdias]

We should consider not exporting the constants on the main package. It clutters a lot the docs. We should do like in js-multihash and simply export that as a different variable. Will mention that in a differnt issue.

LGTM but i would call types.ts -> generated-types.ts and add a comment at the top saying "DO NOT CHANGE THIS FILE ITS AUTOGENERATED by blal blah"
