TypeScript Global Type Defintions

Question

My JavaScript code makes heavy use of globals for jQuery widgets.

Right now I am declaring type definitions in .d.ts files which I store in a customTypes directory.

Is there a way to declare these type definitions within the jQuery widget files themselves and therefore not have two files to modify everytime I need to modify the widget.

Thanks!

Javascript does not know about Typescript type definitions. You would have to write your jQuery widgets with Typescript. Then you can set a flag (-d or --declaration) in your typescript compiler options to create a type definition file. That way you would not have to update the definitions every time you change the code.

I mean my jQuery widgets are now. ts files (Im porting JS to TS) so could I write definitions in there?

If your jQuery widgets are in Typescript, then you have no problem. Just add the -d flag o your compiler options and the TypeScript compiler will create the declaration files for you.
