Converter of TypeScript definition files to Kotlin declarations (stubs)

Description

Converter of TypeScript definition files to Kotlin declarations (stubs)

This requires Kotlin 1.1+ to run. It generates Kotlin files that are compatible with Kotlin 1.0.4.

How to setup project

1. clone this project

git clone <this project url>

2. get submodules (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped)

git submodule init
git submodule update

3. install dependencies

• using installed node.js:

npm install

• without installing node.js:

ant -f build.xml update.tools
ant -f build.xml update.node.modules

4. setup path to node interpreter in IDEA (Languages & Frameworks | Node.js and NPM)

5. Convert the tool to Javascript. One way is to open the project in IntelliJ and build the project (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+F9).

6. (optional) Run the unit tests

ant -f build.xml run.test.for.testData

7. Run the tool in one of these ways:

• Run it with node.js (Note: the root of the project should be working dir):

  node out/production/ts2kt/ts2kt.js path/to/input.d.ts path/to/output.kt

• Directly call translateToFile_puj7f4$ from JS (translateToFile in code).

• Create run configuration like shared jq and run it.

How to update submodules

git submodule update --remote
