Converter of TypeScript definition files to Kotlin external declarations

Description

Converter of TypeScript definition files to Kotlin declarations

This requires Kotlin 1.1.x to run. It generates Kotlin files that are compatible with Kotlin 1.1+.

How to use

The simplest way to use is install the latest version form npm:

npm install -g ts2kt

Usage

ts2kt [<options>] <d.ts files>

Where possible options include:
-d <path> Destination directory for files with converted declarations, current directory is used by default
-h Print a synopsis of standard options
-X Print a synopsis of advanced options

How to setup project

1. clone this project

git clone <this project url>

2. get submodules (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped)

git submodule init
git submodule update

3. install dependencies

• using installed node.js:

npm install

• without installing node.js:

ant -f build.xml update.tools
ant -f build.xml update.node.modules

4. setup path to node interpreter in IDEA (Languages & Frameworks | Node.js and NPM)

5. Convert the tool to Javascript. One way is to open the project in IntelliJ and build the project (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+F9).

6. (optional) Run the unit tests

ant -f build.xml run.test.for.testData

7. Run the tool in one of these ways:

• Run it with node.js (Note: the root of the project should be working dir):

  node out/production/ts2kt/ts2kt.js path/to/input.d.ts path/to/output.kt

• Directly call translateToFile_puj7f4$ from JS (translateToFile in code).

• Create run configuration like shared jq and run it.

How to update submodules

git submodule update --remote
