You still need write the Royale typedefs manually. However, referring to the TypeScript definitions while you do it makes things easier. TypeScript definitions are limited to the API surface only, without implementations of everything, so you don't need to sift through the entire JS library to find the only function signatures and things that you need. Additionally, they are typed, like ActionScript, so you'll probably end up creating similar types.
I tried to create a converter (which I called dts2as) to automatically generate Royale typedefs from TypeScript type definitions, but it was too hard to keep up to date. People in the TypeScript community start using new language features in their type definitions as soon as a new version of TypeScript is released, so it was a constant game of catching up. A new version of TypeScript would be released, and type definitions for libraries that had been compatible with dts2as suddenly didn't work anymore. It would have been a full time job to maintain this program. - Josh On 2019/05/01 07:33:08, Yishay Weiss <[email protected]> wrote: > How can use the TypeScript definitions to create typedefs? > > >Looks like there is TypeScript defnitions for lodash on DefinitelyTyped and > >Moment ships >with a TypeScript definitions. > > On 4/30/19, 10:18 PM, "Dany Dhondt" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Wouldn’t it be a nice proof of concept if we tried to implement a widely > used js lib into Royale? > There are a lot of js packages that are used thousands of times a day, > like moment.js, lodash, … > > Dany > > > Op 1 mei 2019, om 01:13 heeft Alex Harui <[email protected]> het > volgende geschreven: > > > > Isn't the ACE editor already an example?
