Hello!

You mentioned in GitHub - sendbird/sendbird-uikit-react: Build chat in minutes with Sendbird UIKit open source code. that you’re moving progressively to typescript.
Do you have any ETA in mind?
Thanks a lot,
Elin

Hi @Elin_Larsen - welcome to the Sendbird community! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

The Sendbird JS SDK is getting rewritten to TypeScript as part of v4. The plan for UIKit is to port to the new SDK by Q4.

@taha.saghir what’s the status of v4? You said that the plan was to release that by Q4 2022, but it’s almost the end of Q2 2023 and v4 is not out. Is there an update on when you’ll support Typescript?

We’re trying to decide between Sendbird and Stream, and Typescript type definitions is a big factor in our decision.

Hi @josh_almondobgyn - the v4 SDKs have been generally available since June 2022.
