TypeScript SDK for Morphir-Elm

[ssssam]

The Morphir-Elm Scala backend expects some precreated types in Morphir.SDK namespace to exist.

The Scala SDK exists in morphir-jvm repo, which is cloned every time we run npm run build and copied to redistributable/. The morphir-elm gen command has a copyRedistributables() function which seems to then include this in the generated code.

The TypeScript backend also needs an externally defined type: Morphir.SDK.Char, which doesn't correspond to any builtin TypeScript type. We can implement this, but how do we store and distribute this code? I see several options:

• Inside morphir-elm repo
• In a new Morphir-TypeScript repo, which we clone during npm build
• Inside a new repo, but fetched using Git submodules or some other system
• Somewhere else

Let's go with the quickest solution for now. If the only reason we would need this for now is Char we can simply map that to string in which case we don't need a TypeScript SDK at all.

When we get to generating actual business logic we will probably need the SDK and then we can make a decision on this.

Fine by me, thanks for the quick response!
