This application generates a TypeScript declaration file for the Qooxdoo framework. It uses the API files (JSON format) of Qooxdoo to do so.

Please note that the generated declaration file is not 100% OK and still need a few manual tweaks to compile correctly and be usable in your project.

If you are just interested in using the Qooxdoo within a typescript project, better to use the project qx-typed. This project has a fully functional declaration file and also some glue so you can start right away.

You can get it from: https://github.com/jbaron/qx-typed

Simple make sure you have nodejs installed and then run it:

npm start

You will find a new qooxdoo.d.ts file in the root directory of the project.

You will need TypeScript installed on your machine. Then you can build this project simply by running:

tsc 

The file named tsconfig.json is used by tsc to get its configuration from.

The generated TypeScript declaration file gets its info from the meta data attached to the qooxdoo classes. Sometimes there might be a mistake in there, which would also result into a mistake in the declaration file. But you can always cast an object to and do amything you like with it.
