TSTL binser

Declarations for binser, Customizable Lua Serializer.

Upon installation these declarations can be linked to a tsconfig.json file.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": [
            "tstl-binser"
        ]
    }
}

And used within any .ts file.

import * as binser from "binser";

class Vec2
{
    constructor(public x: number, public y: number)
    {
    }
}

// use binser.registerClass for automatic class serialization
binser.registerClass(Vec2.prototype,Vec2.name);

// or binser.register for custom serializers and deserializers
binser.register<Vec2,[number,number]>(Vec2.prototype, Vec2.name,
    //serialize()
    (v: Vec2) => {
        return $multi(v.x, v.y)
    },
    //deserialize
    (x: number, y: number) => {
        return new Vec2(x,y)
    }
)


let original: Vec2 = new Vec2(42, 1234);
let serialized: string = binser.serialize(original);
let deserialized: Vec2;
[deserialized] = binser.deserializeN(serialized, 1);

if(original.x === deserialized.x && original.y === deserialized.y)
    print('original === deserialized');

Make sure to append ";./node_modules/tiny-ecs/?.lua" to your package.path in a conf.ts file (this is run first) to assist where Lua looks for modules.

package.path += ";./node_modules/?/?.lua";

Also you need to add "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions" to tsconfig.json file.

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "types": [
            "typescript-to-lua/language-extensions"
        ]
    }
}
