Hey! Just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing work you've put into rewriting the ONVIF library in TypeScript. It's been super helpful as a starting point.

Since this PR has been hanging around for a while and folks are really wanting a TypeScript version, I went ahead and made a stable fork based on your work. You can find it as @2bad/onvif on github and npm. I kept all the original code from here and added some stability fixes and tests while providing a stable build.

If anyone needs a working TypeScript ONVIF package right now, just run:

npm install @2bad/onvif

Hope this helps out the community! And hey, I'm totally down to work together on bringing these efforts together in the future.

@mrhyde Hello! Great work! Glad that someone combine all the things that I wrote to a working version!

The main goal of the v1.x is to keep the best of 0.x, add types (I generate it from the ONVIF WSDL schemas) and make it a bit more modular.

We've got a lot of patches in 0.x to support as much cameras as we can. Not all of them, because the problem is in manufacturers, not specification. So I need to gracefully move all the methods.

BTW, here is my roadmap: https://github.com/agsh/onvif/blob/v1/CHECKED.md

Have you added any new onvif methods to the code?
And your PRs are welcome any time! 👍
