Consider using ts-generator to simplify implementation about ts-auto-guard

Hi @krzkaczor, thanks for your interest.

I think I'd need to see some examples to fully understand the implications. Consider adding some to the README.

Would ts-generator be an alternative to ts-simple-ast? I'm still not completely to grips with the capabilities of ts-simple-ast, as I'm only a few days into this project. I'm new to code generation -- note that I'm just concatenating strings manually at this stage, not constructing an AST.

At the moment I'm just trying to get the project into a working state and validate the concept, so I'd be hesitant to refactor.

Yeah @rhys-vdw sorry about that, ts-generator is WIP, documentation and readme will appear in next days.

I see that you use ts-simple-ast, I am not sure if it has nice API to work with strings instead of file system.

The premise of ts-generator is to allow to parse ANY file (not only ts) and generate based on that some TS files. In your project you focus explicitly on parsing TS files and I understand that using something like ts-simple-ast is just simpler. So I guess that using ts-simple-ast might be better idea for now. Thanks for your input, maybe in future there is a possibilty to integrate both tools.

Not sure exactly what you mean here, but it does have a "virtual file system" mode.

Closing for now, let me know when krzkaczor/ts-generator#8 is closed and I'll consider re-opening.
