Description

Some of our functions contain things like return types and parameter types while others do not. Many functions also include JSDoc annotations that include parameter types and descriptions. While this is helpful, it doesn't necessarily provide the static type checking we may want from Typescript.

For example, the replaceName function in our instance of the file input upgrader. While the s parameter is given the String type in its JSDoc comment, it's never assigned a type in the parameter list and defaults to any, which introduces a potential silent failure like this:

Assigning the s parameter an explicit type of string gets us the intellisense we'd expect from the typescript server:

This pull request adds types to our function type expressions that were missing them.

This returns void, not a string.

If you make the return type : false | Breadcrumb[] it will simplify the logic above (separate comment there).

If you adjust the return type for validateBreadcrumbs to be false | Breadcrumb[] then you don't need to specify the type of potentialBreadcrumbs explicitly.

If you adjust the return type as stated above, you can remove as Breadcrumb[] here.

Same as above, can remove typing here if you adjust validateBreadcrumbs.

This can be simplified to statusElement: Element as every element will match that type.

const multiple = fileInputEl.getAttribute('multiple'); // TODO: Double-check this works correctly when multiple is re-enabled

Instead of casting the type twice, you could store e.target as a separate variable and cast it once maybe?

I'd love to rename this to isLeapYear but that may be more trouble than it's worth for what's essentially a personal preference.
