code definintion support

[phyzical]

Hey thanks for the addon, and i understand you have only just started work on this integration, but is there maybe a rough feature plan for it?

was just wondering if code definition support is on the table?
i have never tired to import d.ts files so i'm not sure if this is possible but could you leverage the typescript definitions and ship as part of the addon?

import d.ts file works for now.
Look at danielyxie/bitburner#1942 (comment)
and use NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts as index.d.ts.

It would be nice if the type definition was provided via npm.
It would be even better to provide the types with the plugin.
Maybe as a manual plugin command for now or with an autoupdate function?

I do not want to use npm in my Bitburner scripts, to keep it clean and tidy.

@The-Hierophant thanks for that can confirm this works

@Root-Core the biggest issue is it needs to be resolvable in a way that will also work for the game itself

@phyzical This shouldn't be a problem, as they are just types. If the IDE (vscode) can figure out the types you are all set.
They are not validated at runtime and are not transmitted to the game. There should not be any effect on the game.

The plugin could just spit out the file on demand and give you a reminder to update it, if there is a new version.
