Publish TypeScript declarations to NPM

Now that 10.0 is released and the JavaScript docs are up-to-date, it would be great if the TypeScript declarations could be published to NPM. For now, in my own projects, I just copied said file into my project, but that’s a bit hard to update and maintain. If it were published on NPM, people could then just

• npm install -D primefaces

and add

/// <reference types="primefaces" />

to the top of their file to (a) enjoy auto completion and (b) type checking.

• There’s a script and maven profile for publishing to NPM, see the readme.
• For now I set the package name primefaces. This does not exist yet on NPM, but we could also use another name.
• @melloware I think you did ask PrimeTek about this? Did they say anthing about this?

Also note, the publish maven profile reads the version from the pom, which is now 11, so we need to specifiy the version explicitly:

mvn org.codehaus.mojo:build-helper-maven-plugin:parse-version \
  com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:npm@publish-to-npm \
  "-Dnpm.token=token" \
  -DparsedVersion.majorVersion=10 \
  -DparsedVersion.minorVersion=0

Yep I was in a cleaned directory. OK its published!

Awesome, looks great. I’ll give it a try later.
