@pedrobranco What strategy do you want to work towards for this?

• Convert to TypeScript?
• Declaration file in this repo with NPM "types" property?
• Declaration file in DefinitelyTyped?

While I do not plan to completely solve the issue, I can begin the process to make it easier for other users to continue to build upon.

@ruimarinho WDYT of using declaration file in DefinitelyTyped?

How is anyone using TS at all in the Bitcoin ecosystem?

• bitcoinjs/coinselect - no types
• ruimarinoho/bitcoin-core - no types
• bitcoinjs/bitcoinjs-lib - types

Another option not mentioned is using JSDoc. https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsdoc-supported-types.html

I'll add the JSDoc annotations since nothing exists and open a PR. I only hope it'll be accepted. 😆 I'll base it on #149 - This makes the types completely orthogonal.

I've done the same with bitcoinjs/coinselect. I'll be opening a PR there as well.

yes types would be nice, why not just add at least the types from index.d.ts in this old puill request #65
