Conversion to Typescript

[joncodo]

Hey guys. This could be a really really useful project for the open source world. People need to work on it. :)

I think the best way to work in the open source world is through a strongly typed language. There are many reasons for this including:

• Forcing new contributors to adhere to coding standards
• Enabling new developers to understand the code better
• Make test writing easier as the code will have to change to make it more SRP (Single responsibility principle)

Steps to accomplish this:

1. Cover 70% of the code with tests currently. This is a loose outline but in general, just make it work with tests in a CI/CD fashion.

• All tests must be written in .ts

2. Convert all files to .ts.
3. Create objects for everything 😃
4. Make sure all the tests still pass
