Automating things with Javascript (MacOS, IOS) - Questions about workflows and tools

[sylumer]

I know there are definition files for Scriptable and Drafts.

Typescript type definition file for desktop IDEs?

Some days ago I was wondering, if there is a Typescript type definition package that has all Scriptable types to ease coding in e.g. Visual Studio Code? If not, @simonbs how have you told the auto completion in the app the types? If you have made such a type definition file for that, could you please share that? If you haven’t made such a file or you don’t want to share it, I would write a little script to create it from the online documentation, if I’ve some time to spare. Edit: Some time h…

I use the Drafts definitions on my Mac within Visual Studio Code. It is very rare for Scriptable I code anything off of i*OS as I can’t test it properly on the Mac.

But, honestly, I tend to keep the relevant documentation open alongside in case I need to reference something in detail or search for something. That is the purpose of the documentation after all. I would argue that switching or viewing alongside is part of most developers workflow; but as they learn more they reference it less - but things also change over time and that is ignored at your peril

I do also have a post relating to some actions I created to support easier JavaScript coding in Drafts.

Hope that helps.
