typescript support so that we get type completion from objects returned in `find`

Problem

1. I want to ensure type completion on objects returned in find
2. I want to make sure the correct type of doc is passed in an insert

Context

I looked at the type definition file for nedb in DefinitelyTyped (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/nedb/index.d.ts)

I see passing of type T in a few places there. I was unsure where to pass types during instantiation because new object creation of nedb doesn’t take in type information.

Please let me know if I can use types with nedb or pass in type information into nedb to get some type goodness.

If nedb doesn’t support types, I’m sure I can just create a wrapper class for this, so no worries. Also, thanks for making such a neat library 😃

@dheerajbhaskar Myself and another developer are currently working on a TypeScript replacement. I just finished the AVL Btree for it last week. It is still in development. teDB the db, and binary-type-tree the btree

That I understand about indices, but I’m unable to see how that’s relevant from the types and autocomplete perspective.

Typescript does allow that, it’s called type assertion, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/35362350/1311745

I’ll contribute back here or as another package if I end up implementing this.

Thanks for taking the time all 🙂👍
