[keycloak-dev] Typescript support for Node.js adapter

[Bruno Oliveira]

If you ask me, I'm not crazy about the idea of providing Typescript
definitions inside the Node.js adapter. And there's a single request
from the community about it.

At the same time, it's hard to ignore some numbers. The weekly NPM
downloads for Typescript is almost 5 million[1] and for ts-node[2] is
almost 2 million.

The goal of that PR is to provide only the Typescript definitions for
the Node.js adapter, so that projects using the adapter can benefit from
it.  If we agree to move forward with this, I believe some automated way
to generate it, has to be provided.

Thoughts?
