tsdgen

Parses multiple .d.ts definition files and outputs node ready definitions.

Usage

Use A JsDoc annotation that specifies in what module the interface or class is exported.

/**
 * Class that does this and that.
 * @inmodule "best-module-of-all-times"
 */
export class BestClass {
   // ...
}

Compile this file (or all the files that export classes) with -d in tsc, then post process the .d.ts files in order to get the final module .d.ts. For example in terminal-console the TerminalConsole class has the @inmodule annotation:

/**
 * A class that allows relogging the previously written message by using the
 * ANSI up code.
 * @inmodule "terminal-console"
 */
export class TerminalConsole {

When processing all the generated .d.ts files from the lib/ file, the terminal-console.d.ts will contain only this exported class, in the right module. Multiple modules could be specified for the same class, using multiple @inmodule annotations. In order to run this automatically, including the watching of *.ts files, fast-live-reload ties things together:

fast-live-reload -o\
    -ep "bash -c 'tsc -w src/main/core/*.ts --outDir lib/ -d --module commonjs'"\
    lib/ -e "bash -c 'tsdgen -o terminal-console.d.ts lib/*.d.ts'"

As available in the live-reload.sh script. The tsc compiler will compile the sources into the lib folder, and after the tsdgen will generate the module .d.ts file.

Grunt

If you want to use tsdgen with grunt, you can just npm install it with --save-dev and then edit your Gruntfile.js configuration:

module.exports = function(grunt) {
    // configuration for the plugins.
    grunt.initConfig({
        // ...
        tsdgen : {
            "dist" : {
                files : [
                    {
                        src: [
                            "lib/core-promise.d.ts"
                        ],
                        dest: "./core-promise.d.ts"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    });
    // load NPM tasks:
    grunt.loadNpmTasks("tsdgen");
    // register our tasks:
    grunt.registerTask("default", ["tsdgen"]);
};

Multiple .d.ts files can be passed for input, in order to output a single module definitions file.
