dotnet.d.ts should be include in the wasmbrowser template

[Thaina]

When we initial project with dotnet new wasmbrowser I think it would be beneficial to also include dotnet.d.ts into the project too. So we can get intellisense (at least in vscode) when we deal with dotnet object in js file

Or are there any other way I could get intellisense reference of dotnet object?

I couldn't figure out the best area label to add to this issue. If you have write-permissions please help me learn by adding exactly one area label.

Something like jsdoc @type in the templates would be good

/** 
 * @type { import("../../../wasm/runtime/dotnet").ModuleAPI }
 */
 import { dotnet, exit } from './dotnet.js'

Unfortunately it doesn't always work for me.

The dotnet.d.ts lives in our nuget package. I'm not sure it's easy to create relative path to a specific nuget version. So maybe we need to copy it somewhere.

When I just drag dotnet.d.ts tobe around main.js the intellisense then just came up properly. So I think this might be the easiest way to make it work. But if there are any other way it could work in more cleanly manner then I would be grateful

@pavelsavara Probably not directly related to this issue, but is there any plan to publish the wasm runtime to npm (e.g. @microsoft/dotnet-wasm-runtime)? Alternatively, dotnet.d.ts may be published to npm alone (e.g. @microsoft/dotnet-wasm-runtime-types.

I would love to, but there are multiple challenges with it. So, don't hold your breath waiting.
