1712446 - Incorporate @types/foo for dependencies of frontend code

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Pontoon, task)

Description

[Axel Hecht]

When converting to TypeScript, I only took some of the available external type libraries for the frontend dependencies.

Tracking to investigate which are available, and which fixes they need.

https://www.typescriptlang.org/dt/search allows to search for modules easily.

Useful tool: npx typesync --dry-run

Packages that don't work for us:

• react-linkify has a typing lib, but they don't support the properties prop, which has been removed on master. An upcoming release is likely gonna ship with typescript bindings, too.

I personally gave up trying

• react-redux, and thus anything with redux in its name. That's rightfully its own bug 1712447.
• react-tabs, the commentTabRef was beyond me.

I'll have a PR for the simple stuff, though.
