How to get types from dependency in IDE | Dagger | Page 1

I just started with dagger and i don't know how to get type hints from modules installed from daggerverse.

I installed the node module from the daggerverse github repository. The module works fine when running. But because it is not in the /sdk of the /dagger folder, tsconfig is not capable of providing types for the node module dependency.

¿Is it possible to get a d.ts or other configuration to make the .node() method typed from the dag object in index.ts?

If is not possible yet ¿Is it in the roadmap?

I know that the modules could be written in different languages, but if they are auto documented into daggerverse, it should be possible to extract the same types into a type declaration file (at least for typescript sdk).

Currently in the quickstart project. All types are gone in typescript after calling

dag.node().someMethod()

Because .node() returns 'any' type.

are you looking for dagger develop ? (caution: i am fairly typescript-ignorant)

@long portal which IDE are you using? autocompletion seems to be working fine for me. (check images)

after you run dagger install github.com/dagger/dagger/sdk/typescript/dev/node@3c969a91ed1356f515b25ed04a338bc384cff91b, the dagger/sdk/api/client.gen.ts file should have all the types defined there you need

#

seems like your editor might not be correctly setup to pick that?

#

FWIW I'm using vim with the ts_ls LSP

@exotic slate thanks, you are right, the client.gen.ts types got generated in the sdk/api folder.
I don't know why vscode was not reading the types correctly, but after restaring the editor it was working fine 🙌.

Thanks for the help 😃
