Suggestion

Add types for the getEntriesByType API

I found this old issue (Jul 5, 2018) and saw that experimental API's are not included in lib.dom.d.ts. The following API's don't appear to have experimental warnings on them on the MDN docs. Hopefully this means these are no longer experimental and types can be added now?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PerformanceMark
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PerformanceMeasure
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/PerformanceResourceTiming

Use Cases

Getting specific strongly typed information for the entries when accessed via this API.

Examples

// resources would be of type PerformanceResourceTiming[]
const resources = window.navigation.getEntriesByType("resource");

// resources would be of type PerformanceMeasure[]
const measures = window.navigation.getEntriesByType("measure");

// marks would be of type PerformanceMark[]
const marks = window.navigation.getEntriesByType("mark");

// paints would still be of type PerformanceEntryList
const paints = window.navigation.getEntriesByType("paint");

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines (not sure about the first one):

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Inizia leggendo le pagine MDN collegate nell’issue e le dichiarazioni esistenti in lib.dom.d.ts, verificando la discrepanza tra window.performance nel titolo e window.navigation negli esempi. Il lavoro è completato quando getEntriesByType fornisce i tipi specifici richiesti per le entry resource, measure e mark, mantenendo al contempo il tipo ampio esistente per le entry paint.
