Why don't we fully support Typescript?

As first, I don’t want to make any war or comparison about pros/cons of TS vs JS. I need TS as its our stakeholders requirement.

Playing around with CodeceptJS took me to some strange things:

• CodeceptJS isn’t shipped with any TS definition
• To get the TS definition, I must use command codeceptjs def . which generates a steps.d.ts. However, that file is complained by tsc command right at the first time I compile the TS project.
• The generated file doesn’t have enough definition, some are:
  • function Data() returns any type => the call to Scenario warns about the type of the given I
  • There’s no definition for class Datatable

You know my problem, is there any plan to fully support TypeScript like other frameworks/libraries?

Also If there is an option when the project is being generated like

• Javascript
• Typescript

That will be a lot easier.
