smartclient.d.ts: Properties (fields and methods) should be optional

[ScottMichaud]

SmartClient Version: v12.0p_2019-07-11/LGPL Development Only (built 2019-07-11)

While some places (ex: List) have properties and methods marked optional, there are some classes where they are not (ex: ListGridField). I have a method that generates them with the following code:

//Code which defines dataField, title, displayWidth, and isHidden

var output : isc.ListGridField = {
    name: dataField,
    title: title,
    canEdit: false,
    width: displayWidth,
    hidden: isHidden
}

return output;

Without marking them optional, TypeScript will complain that over 100 properties have not been defined.

Note: If you've found this thread because you're having this issue, then the way to fix it is to open smartclient.d.ts and find the relevant class/interface and add ? to the places that should be optional.

Example (field):

exportFieldWidth: boolean;

... turns into...

exportFieldWidth?: boolean;

Example (method):

sortNormalizer(recordObject: object, fieldName: string, context:ListGrid): any;

... turns into...

sortNormalizer?(recordObject: object, fieldName: string, context:ListGrid): any;

This makes sense, thanks. New file with optional params will be in the August 9th 2019 build!
