Description

@tleunen first thanks a lot for creating react-mdl. I came from .NET and angular world and I surprisingly recognized that there is not any feasible ui framework for React so far (apart from horrible and not mobile friendly Material-UI or apart from react-bootstrap). I appreciate a lot your approach of react component wrapping up Google JS and CSS and I find it very promising.

However, I am missing the Typescript support. Typescript is not so popular in React community but its usage in JavaScipt and node.js (and angular 2) world is incredibly growing.

Are you interested in contributing react-mdl.d.ts Typescript definition file? If yes:

  1. for what r-mdl version (1.5, 2.0 or both)? Alternatively, will both versions have the same interface?
  2. How are you preparing ## Configuration table in documentation? I think that content of this table could be a good source for semi-automatic .d.ts file generation.

Research direction
Review the issue comments and any existing TypeScript definitions for react mdl. Check if there are linked PRs or branches with partial work. The maintainer should clarify which version (1.5, 2.0, or both) the definitions should target. Examine the configuration table in the documentation for semi automatic generation.
