Provide type information for requireNode

[jacobq]

I'm using TypeScript and was seeing this warning / error:

TS2304: Cannot find name 'requireNode'.

I can make it go away by adding this line, but I know there must be a more automatic way to provide type information from the package itself (or at least from a @types/... package):

declare var requireNode: (name:string) => any;

Could we include support for that somehow?

I just started converting my app to TS and hit this issue too. Is requireNode something internal to this package or shipped from Ember?

It's an ember-electron thing, helping to resolve the naming conflict between Node's require() and Ember/loader.js' require(). We talk about it in the documentation.

I don't think it would be hard to provide typings for it. I'm not sure if it would also be helpful to provide type info for our window.require -- not sure if the two require() signatures are exactly the same, or if it would make sense to provide overload signatures.

While we're at it, we may as well provide type info for moduleNode and processNode.

Anyone volunteering to do this work? 😉
