i need your opinion as a community about using TS with a project like this https://github.com/headintheclouddev/typings-suitescript-2.0

I'm a huge fan, mainly due to the intellisense. I don't actually use Typescript at my current company due to other devs on my team but you can still use the typing with a jsconfig file and jsdoc.

I'm a huge fan too, and I'm currently using TS for development and Jest unit testing

@Dmitry Masanov may I ask how you are using TS? I mean, have you used this project where types have been defined for NS objects or you just use it plain and then remove the unnecessary references with some snowpack task or the like? I am curious about how others have done it. Plus, about JEST my experience has been that it takes a long time to make modifications to match unit test scenarios using NS stubs. So are you using what comes out of the box with the suitecloud sdk for testing or have added some other recipe? Thanks for your feedback guys

Here is my tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": false,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "strict": false,
    "module": "amd",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "target": "ES5",
    "sourceMap": false,
    "newLine": "LF",
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "rootDir": "../",
    "outDir": "./",
    "lib": [
      "es5","es2015.promise", "dom", "es6", "dom.iterable"
    ],
    "skipLibCheck": false,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "paths": {
      "N/*": [
        "node_modules/@hitc/netsuite-types/N/*", "../@hitc/netsuite-types/N/*"
      ],
      "N": [
        "node_modules/@hitc/netsuite-types/N", "../@hitc/netsuite-types/N"
      ]
    }
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",  "__mocks__", "__tests__"
  ],
}

oh i see

Here is my babel config:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    [
      '@babel/env',
      {
        targets: {
          ie: '10',
          node: 'current'
        },
        useBuiltIns: 'usage',
        corejs: 3,
      },
    ],
    '@babel/preset-typescript'
  ],
  'plugins': [
    ['@babel/plugin-proposal-decorators', { 'legacy': true }],
    ['@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties']
  ],
};

and what about stubs, how do you test a beforSubmit for instance when you need to instantiate NS objects? do you create your own mockups? This was my concern because when i wanted to test one function i had to define every mock up call in the correct order so it was frustrating when i had to deal with modifications. Thanks in advance for sharing your experience

I don't test interactions with NetSuite, I create a whole new object for business logic and only cover it with unit tests. As the business logic object is independent, I don't need stubs or mockups

good call

Yes, I need this because I have different paths to the types in main project and Helpers project (where I store my functions which I can import to any other projects). In common, I believe you can just use node_modules/@hitc/netsuite-types/N/*“

about your testing what i undestand then is that you usually isolate your code in other modules that receive only the context for instance and then you can test it independently right?

Well, I just set up my transpiler to put the code to ./src/FileCabinet/SuiteScripts

yes that is exaclty my point
