es6-tsd-generator

only use when there is no other easy choice

This tool will generate a non-typed dts with all sub-modules. we use material-ui and needed full sub-module support - nothing was quick, so this came out of it.

In usage - if a module has a default export an interface describing the export is created and exported. If a module has a default and other exports, the default export is current ignored.

Install

npm i -g es6-dts-generator

Usage

es6-dts-generator [-r] -s <source-module-path> -o <output-dir> -m <module-name>

Options:
  --source, -s   source module path, probably nested in a node_modules path,
                 remember, every dep has to be resolvable    [string] [required]
  --module, -m   Name to use for the output module, will default to the last
                 part of the source path you provide                    [string]
  --recurse, -r  recurse sub-modules                  [boolean] [default: false]
  --out, -o      output path where we should put the dts,will default to
                 <pwd>/out
           [string] [default: "/Users/jglanz/Development/es6-dts-generator/out"]
  --help         Show help                                             [boolean]

Output

In the ou directory provided, you should get <module_name>/index.d.ts with all the modules and sub-modules(if recurse enabled)

Todo

Integrate it with tern or esprima to make some attempt at type inference

NO UPDATES AHEAD

this was a one-off because we desperately needed a DTS with sub-modules...but who knows
