Best way to get intellisense like auto completion on extended pg promise database protocol.

I'm currently refactoring an express api app to use the database access scheme described in https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise-demo. Is there a way to get intellisense-like auto completion for these extensions?

E.g. if I would import db from https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise-demo/blob/master/JavaScript/db/index.js. I would love to type db. and get all possible extensions. If I would type db.users., I would get all public class methods defined in https://github.com/vitaly-t/pg-promise-demo/blob/master/JavaScript/db/repos/users.js.

I'm using VSCode.

You do have IExtended there, and proper method listing, do you not? What other intellisense support do you expect?

It works for intellisense in IntelliJ at least, don't know about VSCode.

I actually don't have some IExtensions there yet. The app in question is written in pure js and I'm not sure if it's a good idea to include ts at the moment. I tried to get an idea how to do this with JSdoc, but I'm not yet sure how to get it done properly. Would appreciate any hint.

You should use TypeScript approach, and for documentation - typedoc. Here's one of my projects with that - iter-ops.

Thanks a lot! Since it's not feasible to switch bigger parts of that project to TS right now, I opted instead to just use a type definition file from which the extended protocol type is imported via JSDoc @typedef {import('types')} ExtendedDBProtocol.
