Typescript

A tool for (transpiling, converting) C# Classes, Interfaces, Enums to Typescript

DISCLAIMER

This is a personal, in development project. It is not recommended to use this in any application.

Usage

var convereter = new Converter(outputDirectory);
convereter.AddClass(typeof(MyClass));
convereter.AddEnum(typeof(MyEnum));
convereter.AddInterface(typeof(IMyInterface));
convereter.Build();

Notes

• Only supports public classes, interfaces, enums
• If a Type is used but not added to the convereter, the convereter will throw an exception
• In order for the Type to work with the convereter, you must use the corrent Attributes
• Classes or Interfaces with same 'Name' or 'Filename' with throw an exception
• Enums with same 'Name' or 'Filename' with throw an exception
• NOTE** Enums will be exported as 'export enum'
• As of now, the convereter support Lists, but not Dictionaries or Arrays

Attributes

The attributes are used to give the convereter more information about the class, interface or enum. They take two arguments that are mandatory, 'Name' and 'Filename'. The 'Name' is the name of the class, interface or enum.

•   [TypescriptClassAttribute] : Used for classes
  

•   [TypescriptInterfaceAttribute] : Used for interfaces
  

•   [TypescriptEnumAttribute] : Used for enums
  

•   [TypescriptGenericClassAttribute] : Used for generic classes
  

There is a special Attribute for enums [TypescriptEnumStringValue]. This attribute is used to give the enum values a string value, which is not possible in C#. The attribute takes one argument, 'Value', which is the string value of the enum value.

Attributes exambles and outputs

[TypescriptEnumAttribute("MyEnum", "my-enum")]
public enum MyDifferentEnum
{
	[TypescriptEnumStringValue("Value1")]
	Value1,
	[TypescriptEnumStringValue("Value2")]
	Value2
}

This will be exported as <u>'my-enum.enum.ts'</u> and will look like this:

export enum MyEnum {
	Value1 = "Value1",
	Value2 = "Value2"
}

The class :

[TypescriptClassAttribute("MyClass", "my-class")]
public class ThisNameDoesNotMater
{
	public string Name { get; set; } = "MyName";
	public int Age { get; set; } = 20;
}

This will be exported as <u>'my-class.class.ts'</u> and will look like this:

export class MyClass {
	Name: string = "MyName";
	Age: number = 20;
}

The interface :

[TypescriptInterfaceAttribute("MyInterface", "my-interface")]
public interface ThisNameDoesNotMater<T,Q,K>
{
	string Name { get; set; }
	int Age { get; set; }
}

This will be exported as <u>'my-interface.interface.ts'</u> and will look like this:

export interface MyInterface<T, Q, K> {
	Name: string;
	Age: number;
}

TODO List

- Add ingore property Attribute 
- Add support for Dictionaries
- Add support for Arrays
