TypeLite generate external modules? - typelite

Question

I am trying to generate external modules rather than a type definition file. I believe I need to do the following:
Change the extension of the file to .ts instead of .d.ts.
Generate one file per module.
Add the key word "Export" in front of each interface and enum.
I was easily able to change the extension of the file by changing the "output extension" setting in the tt file.
I cannot figure out how to split the modules into separate files.
I cannot figure out how to add the Export key word to each interface.

Answer 1

TypeLITE doesn't support generating multiple files. This feature has been requested by several users, but I am not aware of a simple way to generate multiple files from the single tt file.
export keyword can't be added without changing source code of the library (TsGenerator.cs). This is very specific requirement, so I probably won't add it to the library.

Answer 2

TypeLite is a good project but lacking in Documentation and examples, it's open source so anyone can contribute and make it better.
As for creating a file per class i solved it using the code below.
private static void GenerateTypeScriptContracts(string assemblyFile, string outputPath)
{
// Clean TS Folder
System.IO.DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(outputPath);
foreach (FileInfo file in di.GetFiles())
{
file.Delete();
}
// --
var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyFile);
// If you want a subset of classes from this assembly, filter them here
var models = assembly.GetTypes();
foreach (var model in models)
{
var generator = new TypeScriptFluent()
.WithConvertor<Guid>(c => "string")
.WithMemberFormatter((identifier) => Char.ToLower(identifier.Name[0]) + identifier.Name.Substring(1));
generator.ModelBuilder.Add(model);
// Generate TS interface definitions
var tsClassDefinitions = generator.Generate(TsGeneratorOutput.Properties | TsGeneratorOutput.Fields);
File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(outputPath, "I" + model.FullName.Replace("ProjectName.DtoModels.", "") + ".ts"), tsClassDefinitions);
}
}
