typings.js v1.0.0
typings.js
A typing system for JavaScript that ACTUALLY WORKS!
Getting Started
To use typings.js, just include main.js in your HTML.
...
<script src="/path/to/typings.js/main.js"></script>
...The typings object
The namespace for typings.js is called typings. It has the following interface:
namespace typings {
//TypeName<T> is a string or a constructor.
//BasicConstructor<T> is a constructor.
//ClassProtoConstructor is a function that takes in an object of generic types with string keys and TypeName<any> values and returns an ES6 class.
callback Observable<T> = T?(optional T? val);
Observable<T> createTypedVar<T extends Object>(TypeName<T> tipe, T value);
any createGenericClass(sequence<string> genArgs, ClassProtoConstructor proto);
boolean typeCheck<T>(TypeName<T> tipe, T obj);
T instantiate<T>(TypeName<T> tipe);
}Tutorial
Now that you've gotten Typings.js set up, let's go through a tutorial. This assumes that you are using JavaScript. You can see the full source code at demo.html. This tutorial uses the TemplateElement library. First, create an HTML file. I chose "Typings.js Tutorial", but you can choose your own title.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
...
<title>...</title>
...
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"></div>
<script>
// This is where our JavaScript will go.
</script>
</body>
</html>1.0.0
