TypeScript example

[ValorHeart]

Hello, Will you add an typescript example?

[zimeg]

Hey @ValorHeart! 👋 Thanks for sharing this question 🙏 ✨

I understand that corresponding typescript examples are a common request, but at this time we don't have immediate plans to create this.

For reference, matching samples that exist include: 📚

• Bolt JS/TS Starter Template
  • slack-samples/bolt-js-starter-template
  • slack-samples/bolt-ts-starter-template
• Bolt JS/TS Custom Step Template
  • slack-samples/bolt-js-custom-step-template
  • slack-samples/bolt-ts-custom-step-template

I'm wondering if we might want to enhance this sample with typescript and relevant JSdoc instead of creating another matching sample altogether 🔍

Would this be suitable when getting started for you? IIRC this would capture the benefits of typescript type checking, though a build step wouldn't be included...

Related issue: slackapi/bolt-js#2506 👾

Hi @zimeg enhancing this sample with typescript would be perfect!
Thank you!

@ValorHeart We've included the check script to run the typescript type checker with this sample which required a few code changes as well:

bolt-js-assistant-template/package.json

Line 7 in f254c8d

"check": "npx tsc --checkJs --noEmit --esModuleInterop app.js",

A WIP changes to improve these types are happening in:

• fix(web-api): remove bounds on assistant.threads.setSuggestedPrompts prompts count in types slackapi/node-slack-sdk#2297

Thank you again for sharing this finding and improvement with us 🤖
