that's what ts is for

or you could also use jsdoc

[errant falcon]

Got any links for me to read or..?

[lament brook]

well, both of those are googlable, but sure

[errant falcon]

I want to make sure I'm looking at the right information, sorry.

[lament brook]

TypeScript
JSDoc

[errant falcon]

Ah, I know this was possible, for example: "async execute(interaction)". Is that no longer available or..?

[lament brook]

vscode (for example) has a typescript server built-in, and ts itself can also process jsdoc within js files
idk about other ides, but they likely have similar setups

[lament brook]

both ts and jsdoc build off of js
ts is a language that's a superset of js, and jsdoc is just a specific syntax of comments

[errant falcon]

Ah, okay, thank you. I'll do more research on this.

[errant falcon]

Hey (sorry for the ping if you dislike it), but just wanted to let you know I found a solution. There's a setting called "javascript validation" in VScode that I disabled and I was able to use the type anotations in a javascript file. (never mind lol)

[lament brook]

node can't read that

[errant falcon]

Yeah, did more research and figured that out.

Would hate to switch to ts

I know this WAS possible.

[lament brook]

well, no, it's just either use ts or jsdoc to provide types

"type annotations in js" sounds to me like you're already just writing ts

[lament brook]

if you're getting types from this, you were getting the types from elsewhere, still via ts or jsdoc

i believe you could use d.ts files to avoid a compilation workflow, but that's just more maintenance to keep them in sync than writing ts directly for most cases
