#as2dts

A command-line tool that converts ActionScript 3 classes and interfaces to TypeScript definitions. This tool can be used along with FlexJS to provide TypeScript definitions to your ActionScript libraries that have been cross-compiled to JavaScript.

#Steps:

• Install npm
• Run npm install -g as2dts to install globally or npm install --save as2dts to install locally as a dependency in your project
• Run as2dts --defs-only --out-name foo /path/to/as3/src /path/to/foo/
• Copy the resulting file /path/to/foo/foo.d.ts into your TypeScript project

##Installation

Install this module with npm:

npm install -g as2dts

##Usage

as2dts [--defs-only] <sourceDir> <outputDir>

##Note

This tool will not magically transform your as3 codebase into perfect typescript, the goal is to transform the sources into syntactically correct typescript, and even this goal is not perfectly respected. It also won't try to provide javascript implementation for flash libraries.

However unlike most attempts that I have seen this tool is based on a true actionscript parser, and so should be able to handle most of as3 constructs and greatly ease the pain of porting a large code base written in as3 to typescript.
