Typescript declaration

[lucasltv]

Is there any effort to develop the @types/rate-limit-mongo module?

I don't know about anything like that, please let me know if you find something 😃

I would like to make this, but my problem is: time... Soon... I guess.

For now, I was able to use it by creating a sample declaration like so:

1. Create a index.d.ts in @types/rate-limit-mongo directory inside your repository, with the following content

   /* eslint-disable @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any */
   declare module 'rate-limit-mongo' {
     export interface MongoStoreOptions {
       uri: string;
       collectionName?: string;
       expireTimeMs?: number;
       resetExpireDateOnChange?: boolean;
       errorHandler?: (err: Error) => void;
       createTtlIndex?: boolean;
     }
     declare class MongoStore {
       constructor(options: MongoStoreOptions);
   
       incr: (key: string, callback: (...args: any[]) => void) => void;
   
       decrement: (key: string, callback?: (...args: any[]) => void) => void;
   
       resetKey: (key: string, callback?: (...args: any[]) => void) => void;
   
       resetAll: () => void;
     }
     export default MongoStore;
   }

2. Add the types directory to your tsconfig.json:

   {
      "compilerOptions": {
         // other options
         "typeRoots": ["./@types", "node_modules/@types"],
      }
   }

Note: You can further add more options to MongoStoreOptions if you are using them. For e.g. I didn't add host because I was using uri.

Hope this helps!

I used the following so I wouldn't have to muck with tsconfig.json

At the TOP (It's gotta be the top, I spent way too long on this because I had it in the body) of the file where you are importing rate-limit-mongo

/// <reference path="../custom_types/rate-limit-mongo/index.d.ts" />

where custom_types is an arbitrary folder name
