Hi everyone! 👋
Very much a WIP, but I have written a little tool that generates typings from the custom types API.
I have been using Prismic for a while now, mainly with Gatsby where I can use [graphql codegen](https://www.graphql-code-generator.com/) for type safety. Recently I have been loving using NextJS and the Prismic REST API (@prismico/client), but having to manually type everything can be tedious.
Hopefully it can come in handy for any typescript devs!

Hi @bennlongg ! Seems promising though! I'd love to see also a generator for Slices! And to be honest, Prismic should provide these also! (By default generating them with Slicemachine)
Keep up the good work.
