🚀 v1.1.0 - Type Annotations and Parser Improvements

🎉 What's New

This release introduces comprehensive type annotation support and significant parser enhancements, improving the robustness and type safety of JistScript.

✨ Key Features

Type Annotations in Parser

• Implemented full type annotation support in parser methods
• Added proper return type definitions for all parser functions
• Enhanced AST generation with type information

Enhanced useState with Type Support

The useState hook now supports explicit type annotations:

• String type: useState:String("initial value")
• Number type: useState:Number(0)
• Array type: useState:Array(String, ["item1", "item2"])
• Object type: useState:Object({ key: value })
• Boolean type: useState:Boolean(true)

Transpiler Improvements

• Runtime injection support for generated Typescript code
• Better handling of useState declarations with type information
• Improved code generation with proper type preservation

🧪 Testing

All tests passing (8/8):

• ✅ Object literal test (7ms)
• ✅ useState with String type
• ✅ useState with Number type
• ✅ useState with Array type
• ✅ useState with Object type
• ✅ useState with Boolean type
• ✅ Transpiler - basic code
• ✅ Transpiler - useState code

🔧 Technical Details

Parser Method Enhancements

• proTypeAsst() now returns properly typed AST structures
• Enhanced type checking for variable declarations
• Improved error handling and validation throughout the parsing pipeline

Code Quality

• Added comprehensive type annotations across the parser module
• Improved code documentation and clarity
• Better separation of concerns in type handling

🚀 Usage Example

// Using typed useState
const [count, setCount] = useState:Number(0);
const [name, setName] = useState:String("John");
const [items, setItems] = useState:Array(String, ["a", "b"]);

// All types are validated at parse time
