Declaration Errors in assets.d.ts

[ericdrobinson]

If you convert the jsconfig.json file to a tsconfig.json file, set strict: true, and then open the assets.d.ts file (in VSCode, at least), you are presented with the following errors:

• A 'declare' modifier cannot be used in an already ambient context. ts(1038) [119, 5]
• A 'declare' modifier cannot be used in an already ambient context. ts(1038) [155, 5]

These refer to the fact that the colors and characterStyles classes are declared inside an already declared module.

Removing those declare statements results in further errors related to the definition of the static class. As both the colors and characterStyles "classes" are actually interfaces that allow you to access information (you never have an "instance" of those "classes"), they should simply be converted to interfaces and the static keyword removed from all function definitions. Then a constant should be added that implements that interface so that it is accessible as a name and not just a type. Taken together, the two "class"es should look something like this:

interface colors {
    get(): Array<ColorAsset | GradientAsset>;
    add(...): number;
    delete(...): number;
}

const colors: colors;
