@sushantdhiman yeah, I noticed after I asked 😛

What is left of the drop gulp? I'm not finding the issue of discussion.

[borislemke]

TypeScript support would be superb. Is there a discussion I can follow? I'd love to contribute to this particular feature.

[danielsalles]

@borislemke TypeScript? I think not :(

[sushantdhiman]

I have never used TypeScript so I dont know what is expected out of TypeScript Support. @borislemke you may follow #328

[borislemke]

@danielsalles @sushantdhiman but it's listed in the Milestone? Optional.TypeScript support

[AminTizdastAzar]

The models created by sequelize-cli v3 is not compatible with last version of sequelize and you explained this in docs. I want to know what is the estimation time for launching sequelize-cli V4? because older version generates files that I need to change them again manually.
Thanks

[sushantdhiman]

@aminTiz I simply dont owe you any estimates, I work in my free time :). If you want things to progress faster help me out with implementing things.

[AminTizdastAzar]

@sushantdhiman I will be more than happy to help you. Just give me the guidelines to start please.

[sushantdhiman]

@aminTiz For starters you can start with #222, Its a long standing issue but should be easy to fix. Just verify attributes generated are having a type which is valid in Sequelize, around here

cli/src/helpers/model-helper.js

Line 27 in f409094

attributes: this.transformAttributes(args.attributes),
