This PR adds type definitions for the
Tag
type with interoperability withHTMLElement
and types derived from it.It introduces a
IntrinsicElements
interface which is a map of element names corresponding with their correspondingHTMLElement
subtype. This is used as a way to provide type information inferred from the element name.It can be further extended with minimum effort;
Since
tag
now inters the type from element name ("form"), it returns the correct typeTag<HTMLFormElement>
and no longer requires explicit return types or casting.There is also partial support for augmenting
Tag
elements with custom methods ending with a dollar-sign ("$"). Although these are not type-safe and has to be managed by the user manually, since there is not an easy way to infer those types.It does so by utilizing template literals index signature, as introduced in TypeScript 4.4. Therefore this PR also upgrades TypeScript to the latest version (4.5).
