Typescript configuration

Related with #16

• Updated tsconfig.json to export type declarations.
• Added typings property in package.json.
• Updated tsconfig.json with more restricted rules, resolving todos.
• Minor changes in typings to adjust output interface to Hooks interface.
• Added Typescript as devDependency instead of assume that it is installed globally.
• Added @types/react as devDependency. Now it is required due noImplicitAny rule.

Hello,

is there anything I can to to help this PR get merged?
I would love to see it closed so that I can use the lib in typescript projects without tsc complaining 😃

[jacek213]

@Swizec could u please look into this?

[breadadams]

@Swizec could I assist in getting this merged?

[saschagehlich]

@Swizec You still seem to be active on GitHub, but this repository seems abandoned. Do you need help maintaining it? This is an important PR.

[johnnyBira]

What's the hold up @Swizec ?
I'd alos like to offer my assistance if it's needed in order to get this merged.

[jacek213]

@Swizec is clearly a typescript hater!

[johnnyBira]

From what I understand @Swizec has already went trough the trouble of rewriting this library to TypeScript, all that's missing is to output the typings files and include them as part of the package, which this PR fixes.
I really don't understand why anyone would put in the effort and then just leave it hanging so close to being finished.

@jacek213 there are other important non TypeScript related PRs being ignored, like #28 which would be really nice to have.
This is a fairly successful library and people are actively contributing, but the lack of attention from its author seriously make me consider forking or looking for another alternative.

[sheldonj]

Maybe we just fork this bad boy? Since no one is actually maintaining this?

[ricveal]

I think we can open a specific issue to discuss about forking the project. What do you think?
Currently, I'm using my own fork in my personal projects as temporal hack and I would be open to merge the open PRs if you like, but I think we should previously discuss it on an issue...

[sentilesdal]

@ricveal do you have a fork of this. I'd also like to have typings in the package.

[ricveal]

@sentilesdal yes, I've forked useDimensions to add the functionality described on this PR. It's not available as independent npm package because I would prefer not to duplicate the project but due the inactivity of the repository, maybe it would be interesting to continue my fork as an independent project. What do you think, guys?

[sentilesdal]

I ended up using useMeasure from the react-use package which has a bunch of nice stuff FYI. I liked the implementation they used over there.
