dts2as

A command line utility that converts TypeScript definitions (d.ts files) to ActionScript classes and interfaces and generates a SWC file. Use these SWCs with Apache FlexJS for strict compile-time type checking, as if the JavaScript library were written in ActionScript. Add the SWCs to IDEs, like Flash Builder and IntelliJ IDEA, and you'll get helpful code suggestions as you type.

Installation

Requires Node.js.

npm install -g dts2as

Usage

dts2as hello.d.ts
dts2as file1.d.ts file2.d.ts
dts2as --outSWC hello.swc hello.d.ts
dts2as --outDir ./as3-files file.d.ts
dts2as --exclude com.example.SomeType file.d.ts

The following arguments are available:

• -outSWC FILE

  Generate a compiled SWC file. Requires either FLEX_HOME environment variable or --flexHome option.

• -outDir DIRECTORY

  Generate ActionScript files in a specific output directory. Defaults to ./dts2as_generated.

• --flexHome DIRECTORY

  Specify the directory where Apache FlexJS is located. Defaults to FLEX_HOME environment variable, if available.

• -e SYMBOL or --exclude SYMBOL

  Specify the fully-qualified name of a symbol to exclude when emitting ActionScript.

• -i SYMBOL or --include SYMBOL

  Specify the fully-qualified name of a symbol to include when emitting ActionScript. Excludes all other symbols.

• -t VERSION or --target VERSION

  Specify ECMAScript target version for the TypeScript standard library: 'ES3', 'ES5' (default), or 'ES6'

• -v or --version

  Print the version of dts2as.
