New open source tools to help those interested in Typescript development

Hello dev community!

I wanted to take to this forum to let you all know about some tools I've developed to make Typescript development easier.

At my company, where we develop our own apps internally, we are interested in moving toward using typescript and other modern toolchains for development.

I have two new open source projects I'm excited to share with the community, and I hope that it helps some of you out.

1. zd-ts-react: A react app scaffold in pure Typescript

This is very similar to the current react app scaffold provider by Zendesk in their github repo located here, but instead of JS, it's pure TS, down to the config files. 

More detail on how to use it is located in the readme on github. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

2. reified-client-api: An npm package for pseudo-type-safe ZAFClient functionality

This was in development for quite some time. This package effectively lets you circumvent the development shortcoming of the current JS ZAFClient  by providing a typed wrapper library over the top of it.

Since the Support area is the only relevant ZD area for my company, the other areas (Chat and Sell) remain unimplemented.

A couple of advantages with this API:

- You'll never need to worry about typos, since the wrapper API has all paths built-in
- TONS of autocompletion is now available. You don't need to refer to the docs if you forget the name of a property. Just hit the period and you'll see a list of options when working with zendesk objects.
- The API still exposes the regular ZAFClient via a `.zafclient` property, so even if something isn't implemented, or the API's features are missing some things, you can still develop your app using the underlying client with the regular syntax.

Again, the github page has lots of examples and use-cases you can look over, and this forum post is getting long enough as it is. 

We're not sure how large of an audience this will have, but I definitely hope this interests some of you!
