Feedback on TypeScript support

https://github.com/probot/probot/pull/372 has been a huge effort by @tcbyrd, @ocombe, and several others to rewrite Probot in TypeScript. If you’d like to help us test out TypeScript support, please install the pre-release and report any issues you run in to:

$ npm install probot@next

TODO:

• Remove no-var-requires from tslint.json
• Remove OctokitWithPagination in favor of declaration merging with existing Octokit interface
• Rewrite tests in TypeScript (#582)
• Types for webhook payloads
• Turn on noImplictAny
• Add the ability to generate a new app with TypeScript, such as create-probot-app --typescript my-app-name

@ocombe I had to change some imports after adding esModuleInterop: true but it works, thank you! Maybe this compilerOption should be added in probot by default?

@pierrebeaucamp @betopompolo I had the same error last week, the solution is to add this property in the compilerOptions of your tsconfig.json file: "esModuleInterop": true (works with TS 2.7+)
