[TypeScript] - Enable a TsConfig Ready

[deinok]

This will allow use the type checkings of typescript.
Detectimng some common errors that JavaScript dont catch

Can you confirm that you can still build and launch this on osx/windows? last update to Electron caused some issues for me.

[deinok]

Yes, it is working well, but in not sure if this field is required now

[FrenchBen]

Thanks for the PR - LGTM, but wanted to make sure you could build the proper releases. (sreenshot)

[deinok]

Seems working well.
TSC command added to all build pipelines of package.json . So any npm command will trigger the build

[FrenchBen]

How would this integrate with the current PR to have an actual windows installer generated?
#3447

[deinok]

@FrenchBen This is completely independent of #3447

This will enable us to check errors at compile time (Enabling the ability to use TypeScript and JSX for React).
So any CI will detect build errors without the need of starting any test.

@FrenchBen Updated to work with Electron-Builder

[FrenchBen]

thanks for the rebase!

[deinok]

Perfect, next step is I will port about 1/2 of the code to TypeScript, in order to make the transition more natural.

[FrenchBen]

Looks like I keep getting build errors when going through:
Running "shell:linux_npm" (shell) task

Are you able to make a release from ubuntu?

[deinok]

No, I can't, but it should not be related to this.

Seems some kind of error related only to the grunt targets.

This #3644 should allow anybody to generate the .zip files like when using grunt.
