Hey curious question by the way. I’m enjoying this a lot so far (I just used the ts-to-elm page for my first real practical use case and I bet it saved me at least half an hour of work and a _lot_ of mental energy), and I’m also finding some “Ooh, I’d love it if it had this, too” things popping into my head. But I also know getting tons of those can be overwhelming, especially right after the work you were probably doing to get it launched.

Are those “non-essential wish list” thoughts more helpful than overwhelming or more overwhelming than helpful right now? And if “more helpful”, is there a most-preferred place to put them?

Thank you for asking! I really love to get feedback, however fine-grained, especially when it’s based in real-world usage! So I’d love to hear all about it. I just got an [#elm-ts-interop channel](https://elmlang.slack.com/archives/C01ST485YAU) in the Elm Slack, so maybe we can discuss further over there?

Also, I’m very glad to hear that you’re having a good experience with `elm-ts-interop` so far! Thanks for sharing that 😄

> Sorry, one last question: is there a way I can customise this file (or module name) in the cli? Reason is that I have multiple entry points and would like a definition file for each `Client.elm` and `Server.elm` e.g. as `src/Client/Interop.elm` and `src/Server/Interop.elm` respectively

I published a new NPM version of the community edition that supports this configuration now 👍

`elm-ts-interop --entrypoint Main --output src/Main/index.d.ts --definition-dir custom-src-dir --definition-module CustomNamespace.CustomDefinitionsModule`

So for your example, you could run this command

```shell
elm-ts-interop --entrypoint Server --output src/Main/index.d.ts --definition-module Server.Interop

```

Hope that gets you what you needed there. I’d love to hear how it goes in the #elm-ts-interop channel 😄
