TypeScript 类型编写指南

前言

本文主要作为平时在 TypeScript 代码中编写类型以及对 TypeScript 代码进行 review 时候的参考手册，并非强制执行的规范，也不涉及纯代码风格以及代码逻辑上的指导。

前置阅读

本文内容参考了下面几个手册，所以强烈建议能够同时阅读完这几个手册。如果大家对 TypeScript 的一些基础用法和特性还不熟悉，也建议先阅读第一个 TypeScript 手册。

Create a Github App (Organization > Settings > Developer Settings > Github Apps). This name will be publicly visible and any repo invites will show this name in the invite email.
Set the permissions to read/write for repository administration and repository contents.
Install the Github App for your organization (Github App > Install App)
Generate a private key for your Github App
Copy the Ruby Script to generate a JWT from your private key https://developer.github.com/apps/building-github-apps/authentication-options-for-github-apps/

require 'openssl'
require 'jwt' # https://rubygems.org/gems/jwt
