It will require preserving the Promise / Observable return type in runtime so the API structure will need to be defined as a lightweight value rather than a type/interface.

Currently looking API definition:

export interface IpcMainApi {
    ping: ApiMethod<{ domain: string, times: number }, { domain: string, value: number }>;
    quitApp: ApiMethodNoArgument<never>;
}

Is going to look similar to this form:

const apiDefinition = {
    ping: ActionType.Observable<[{ domain: string, times: number }], { domain: string, value: number }>();
    quitApp: ActionType.Promise();
}

The default generics arguments/output parameters of the ActionType.Observable / ActionType.Promise functions is going to look like IN extends any[] = [] and OUT extends any = void. So ActionType.Promise<[], void>() is the same as ActionType.Promise().

The change is going to be released with v5. Work is in progress.

Hey Vladimir,

Thanks.
