Using TypeScript with Sails

Question

Is anyone using TypeScript with Sails? If so, what are you using for external declarations?

I am in the middle of a Sails application project and learned about TypeScri

welcome controller

   /**
     * WelcomeController.ts
     *
     * @description :: Server-side logic for managing Welcomes in TS
     * @help        :: See http://links.sailsjs.org/docs/controllers
     */

    import e = require('express');
    import util = require('util');

    declare const sails: any;

    const WelcomeController = {
      index: function (req: e.Request, res: e.Response, next: Function) {
        console.log('index() from WelcomeController.ts');
        sails.models.welcome.find().limit(1).then((welcome) => {
          /// TODO: add logger
          console.log(`welcome page rendering w/ message ${welcome[0].message}`);
          return res.render('welcome', {
            welcome: welcome[0].message
          });
        }).catch((err:Error) => {
          console.error(err.message);
          return res.render('500', err)
        });


      },
      config: function (req: e.Request, res:e.Response, next:Function) {
        console.log('config() from WelcomeController.ts');
        return res.status(200)
          .send('
sails.config :
' + util.inspect(sails.config) + '
');
      }
    };

    module.exports = WelcomeController;


model

export class Welcome {
   attributes: any = {
    id: {
      type: 'integer',
      primaryKey: true
    },
    message: {
      type: 'string',
      required: true,
      defaultsTo: 'default message'
    }
  };
}


View




  

    

    
Message: <%= welcome %>
  
  





and so on... I started an example project on git but never finished:
