use typescript generics from vanilla javascript in vscode extension
I am creating a VSCode extension using JavaScript, and building a custom TextDocumentContentProvider which needs to have a particular signature, but described in TypeScript. It's onDidChange member must be of type Event<Uri>, which of course uses generics. Documentation about TextDocumentContentProvider can be found here: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/extensionAPI/vscode-api#_a-nametextdocumentcontentprovideraspan-classcodeitem-id436textdocumentcontentproviderspan
Of course in "vanilla" JavaScript, there is no such thing as generics. What is the correct thing to return in JavaScript to meet the correct signature described in TypeScript?
This is my implementation so far:
function PostWindow() {
this.onDidChange = ????;
this.provideTextDocumentContent = function(uri) {
return "test content";
}
}
exports.PostWindow = PostWindow;

You could write some demo code in TS which uses this API and look what TSC generated from that.

Thanks @MikeLischke, that worked. I took a working TS example and looked at the output JS that vscode compiled. I created something like this and it worked great: gist.github.com/kindohm/83070f1a6f8e0055937a2a40c158fef5

Use TSC to convert TS code to JS to see how you can implement that.
