Phaser 3 JSDoc Generated Typescript Definitions

I haven't tested everything yet but using my modified version of Antriel's official (WIP) Phaser 3 typescript definitions build, I was able to get scene properties (plugins) to work using a hacky generator by stepping through Phaser code with the browser debugger, converting any useful runtime data to JSON, writing it to disk, then converting it with a simple script, and injecting it into Antriel's build. 

End result: Everything appears to be compiling in the typescript compiler so far, with code hinting, autocompletion/intellisense, ect. in VS Code (and I imagine similar editors).

Note: This is a temporary, hacky, potentially unstable solution for those who want to start building their Phaser 3 typescript projects right now while we wait on offical typescript support to be completed by Antriel and the Phaser team.

Modified build here:

Also created a boilerplate starter project, with definitions included:

Great! That's what I've been looking for, but can you use this without TypeScript in VSCode using IntelliSense?

I believe so. One way I know of is copying the typescript definition file to the root of your phaser folder in node_modules, and changing the phaser package.json file to have the field "types" : "./phaser.d.ts" in it.

Then either restart the TypeScript server in VS Code by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + P and searching "Restart TS Server" or just restarting VS Code. So as long as you're using NPM and RequireJS or ES6 Import, you should be able to use it with vanilla Javascript or ES6.
