This tool handles edge cases where all the typescript files might not
be compiled when the electron process starts this defer that; it runs
tsc compiler first.
Next, we want to only run the compiler if the files are not
compiled.
Using `import * as` import syntax causes some problem if the
module exports a class or function. Because the whole point of
star import is to import every property the module exports. It turns
out we have been using it incorrectly in many places which this commit
fixes.
Then we fix a linting error by adding a eslint disable rule to solve
it along with a TODO because the way we currently do it is wrong.
Finally, to conclude this cleanup, we merge all the .gitignore paths
into once now that we can.
The import in question is electron-is-dev one, others we are
just fixing while we are at it. The problem with this way of importing
`import * as` is that the isDev would be { default: true | false } not
true | false as we like it to be. This causes and error in production app
because electron-debug isn't installed.
Next, we fix the electron-connect import in main.js.
The change in this commits are pretty involved but cannot be split
into small commits. The main changes in this commits are:
* Remove declare module * now that we don't need it
* Normalize import paths so typescript is happy
Previously, we were using wrong import paths and so typescript couldn't
really provide full types information for imports. The wrong paths isn't
a bug because it was done to make sure it work when it was imported via a
script tag; we fix this by using require inside the script tag in main.html.
Also, did audit to make sure we correctly use __dirname not that it's
value will be diffrent, it won't be js/ but will be respective to the file
path of the module.
Not that the previous types were incorrect but they were wrong.
SendFeedback extends the HTMLElement and is a class so it has it's
own properties so extended the properties accordingly.
We want to turn off this rule because this requires us to add _
in front of parameter that are unused which we have lot of, for example,
the ipc listeners.
This version was released just for the fact that the
bundles typescript declaration file was not defined
in package.json hence typescript couldn't detect it.
