Feature: Option to load the internal type definitions from a custom path

[tinchoz49]

Hi @Raynos, how are you?

What do you think about having an option to define a custom path where you can have your type definitions separated. Like the --definitions argument but for internal definitions.

e.g.

project/
    src/
        index.js
        lib/
            somelib.js
    definitions/
        index.hjs
        lib/
            somelib.hjs

I think that's useful, I've currently implemented a _types folder based resolution.

https://github.com/Raynos/jsig/blob/master/type-checker/index.js#L283-L291

project/
    src/
        _types/
            index.hjs
        index.js
        lib/
            _types/
                somelib.hjs
            somelib.js

There would be three different header file lookups then:

• adjacent to source
• in _types folder, in the same source folder
• in a top level headers folder, matching same recursive structure as source code.

wow! i didn't know about the _types folder resolution, that can be helpful, I will try it later.

And I agree about the three different header file lookups.
