⚠ ARCHIVED - Adonis framework is being rewritten in TypeScript, see adonisjs/adonis-framework/issues/871

Installation

1. Install adonisjs-types package:

   npm i --save-dev adonisjs-types

2. Add following tsconfig.json file in your project root:

   {
     "compilerOptions": {
       "allowJs": true,
       "moduleResolution": "node",
       "lib": [
         "es2015"
       ]
     },
     "files": [
       "node_modules/adonisjs-types/index.d.ts"
     ],
     "include": [
       "./**/*.js"
     ],
     "exclude": [
       "node_modules"
     ]
   }

This is a minimal required configuration for types to work. You can tweak it further.

Usage

Types are provided through use method, for example: const Env = use('Env') will be correctly typed. If you want to get intellisense on controller methods, jsDoc will help:

class WelcomeController {
  /**
   * @param {Adonis.Http.Context} ctx
   */
  hello(ctx) {
    //
  }
}

// Or, if you want destructuring:

class WelcomeController {
  hello(/** @type Adonis.Http.Context */ { request, response }) {
    //
  }
}
