Code

@UCLASS()
class Test extends Actor
{

  /**
   * What do you call a cow with two legs? Lean beef. If the cow has no legs, then it's ground beef.
   *
   * Test's Constructor
   */
  constructor(GWorld: World) {
    super(GWorld);
    console.log("This is a test with TypeScript");
  }
}

export = Test;

(obviously the module is from the compiled js file. not the ts one provided upside)

I'm creating a new release in just a few moments switching to https://github.com/AidasPa/babel-plugin-uts from my custom compiler implementation. Hang tight!

Sorry for the issues! But the babel compiler should address this issue as it introduced the export default Class syntax,

[Zirconium]

Alright. Thanks for your reply. I'll try to contribute to the project as much as i can :)

[Aidas]

Just published a new release - how to upgrade is in the readme file; This should address your module issue - please tell me if everything worked out!

I'm re-opening the issue because it may still break (it shouldn't 😛 ). If it does please attach the compiled .js code from out

Now getting

}

const Test_COMPILED = require('uclass')()(global, Test);

var _default = Test_COMPILED;
exports.default = _default;

[Aidas]

Hmm. Give me a second.

[Aidas]

Can you try removing export default from your source?

I think we found a caveat here: there cannot be an export on a file you're going to add via the blueprint. Which in a way, makes no sense anyways. On the file you're adding via the blueprint you also must create a new instance of the class (even if you have no use for it, so it would spawn the actor):

new Test(GWorld);

The only place where you are allowed to use exports are modules/script files that you're not going to be adding via the blueprint

Okay, you should add exemple then cause it's a bit confusing. Exemples for uses with c++, bp etc

[Aidas]

I'll be adding a caveat list soon - and examples are on my TODO list

[Aidas]

Currently added this as a comment when creating new actors.
Seems like the initial module issue is resolved now.

Can I close the issue?

[Aidas]

Update. Instead of the note thing, added a new @UCLASS() argument, docs on how it works are in the readme, full changelog in the releases.

[Zirconium]

Thanks, yes you can close it :)
