closure-ts v0.3.1

closure-ts

Generates TypeScript declaration files (.d.ts) from Closure Library JSDoc annotations.

The result is closure-library.d.ts.

Example

From this JavaScript code with annotations,

/**
 * Truncates a string to a certain length.
 * @param {string} str
 * @param {number} chars
 * @param {boolean=} opt_protectEscapedCharacters
 * @return {string}
 */
goog.string.truncate = function(str, chars, opt_protectEscapedCharacters) {
    // ...
};

closure-ts generates this declaration file (.d.ts).

declare module goog.string {
    /**
     * Truncates a string to a certain length.
     * @param {string} str
     * @param {number} chars
     * @param {boolean=} opt_protectEscapedCharacters
     * @return {string}
     */
    function truncate(str: string, chars: number, opt_protectEscapedCharacters?: boolean): string;
}

Usage

$ closurets some-jsdoced-code.js
$ ls
some-jsdoced-code.d.ts
some-jsdoced-code.js
