Add type hinting

[staticdev]

• Add static type checks
• Add dynamic type checks

Love using the library, works awesome. Question though. Would it be possible to generate an array of questions given a dataclass as input? Or is that way out of scope for this library?

As mypy states: Skipping analyzing "inquirer": found module but no type hints or library stubs.
So please tell me what is the status of this issue?

@Lonerider2010 0% done unfortunatelly. You have options:

1. Add to mypy ignore (as I used to do)
2. Use a similar typed library (such as prompt-toolkit)
3. Contribute with a PR and I will be glad to review it

Sorry, but I think it is not going to be so easy, because there are mutable types: if you pass a string as default, it will be used, but if you pass a callable it will be called. As far as I remember that happens with ar least 2 or 3 different fields.

@magmax Thanks for your reply. According to mutable types: What about Union? Or if nothing else helps, there is still the type hint Any...
So my conclusion is: Adding type hinting to Inquirer would help a lot, definitely not only to me.

BTW. the answer to @jayrod's question is of great interest for me, too.

im working on it

almost done with a lot of the types. some parts are erroring in the strictest setting but thats because i dont know how to do generics and type inference in python that well. (im too TS pilled)

the normal setting has very few problems
