[TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/)'s type definition file (*.d.ts files) generator tool from JavaScript files.

## Description
[TypeScript](http://www.typescriptlang.org/)'s type definition file (`*.d.ts` files) generator tool from JavaScript files. This tool is **WIP** (Work In Progress).
A Japanese document: [TypeScript型定義ファイルのコツと生成ツール dtsmake](http://qiita.com/ConquestArrow/items/450f961c3d54bc932cf3)
### Features
* Generating a `*.d.ts` file from a JavaScript file.
* Type inference powered by [TernJS](http://ternjs.net/). (Need some sample JS files.)
* Auto annotation JSDoc style comments.
* Original JSDoc comment in base JS code output.
* Header template output.
## VS.
* [dtsgenerator](https://github.com/horiuchi/dtsgenerator) - d.ts file generator tool, for only JSON Schema files.
* [js2tsd](https://github.com/mhelvens/js2tsd) - d.ts file generator tool, no type inferrence.
* [JS2TSD](http://nekok.com/2014/05/javascript-to-typescript-type-definitions-d-ts-auto-converter/) d.ts file generator GUI tool app. Not CLI.
## Requirement
Node.js
## Install
`npm i dtsmake -g`
## Usage
simple case:
```
dtsmake -s ./path/to/sourcefile.js
```
other case:
```
dtsmake -s ./path/to/src/target.js --dist ./path/to/dist/mydefinition -n "mydefinition" -p node -e -S "legacy" -M "MyDefinition" -x "./path/to/extrafile1.js,./path/to/extrafile2.js" -N --def ./path/to/def/ecma6 -A -i -a -g
```
### Example
* more usage examples -> [/example/example.js](./example/example.js)
* generated TS definition files examples -> [/example/dist/](./example/dist/)
### Best Practice
#### Generating Gulp.js plugin definition files
`dtsmake -s /path/to/gulp/any/plugin.js -n "canalCasePluginName" -p node -e -M "gulp-*" -N -l "/path/to/node.d.ts"`
* `-n "canalCasePluginName"`
* gulp.js plugins has a name as `gulp-*`.
* but, this is a invalid namespace name in TS.
* so, naming canal case.
* ex. `gulp-header` -> `gulpHeader`
* or valid namespace name.
* `-M "gulp-*"`
* no need to name canal case.
* `-p node`
* use nodejs plugin of tern server.
* `-N`
* set nodejs module option ON
* `-e`
* set export option ON
* `-l "/path/to/node.d.ts"`
* add referrece path to node.d.ts definition file
### Options
#### -h, --help
output usage information
#### -v, --version
output the version number
#### -s, --src ``
__[MUST]__ target javascript file path
#### --dist [value]
outout d.ts file path. no need `.d.ts` file extension.
ex. `--dist /path/to/dist` -> `/path/to/dist.d.ts`
#### -n, --n [value]
module name
#### -p, --plugin ``
tern.js plugin.
* see [tern.js server plugin](http://ternjs.net/doc/manual.html#plugins)
* [currently support plugins](https://github.com/marijnh/tern/tree/0.14.0/plugin)
ex. `-p "node,module,commonjs"`
#### -d, --def ``
tern.js def files. DEFAULT:'ecma5'
see [Tern.js's def json format](http://ternjs.net/doc/manual.html#typedef) and [Tern.js's sample def files](https://github.com/marijnh/tern/tree/master/defs).
#### -x, --extrafiles ``
sample files for target js lib. help for ternjs type inference.
ex. `-x "./path/to/extrafile1.js,./path/to/extrafile2.js"`
#### -D, --debug
debug output mode
#### -A, --voidAsAny
force output `void` to `any`
#### -i, --interfaceSameNameVar
export a namespace property same with a interface name
#### -a, --annotateTypeInstance
annotate interface's constructor type as return type instance
#### -g, --globalObject [value]
how to export objects that same name with JS Global Object; "remove" or "wrap" or "rename"; DEFAULT:"wrap"
```javascript
//--globalObject "remove"
// ※no output
//--globalObject "wrap"
declare namespace mylib{
interface Error{
//...
}
}
//--globalObject "rename"
interface Mylib$Error{
//...
}
```
#### -N, --NodeJSModule
nodejs module special replace
#### -e, --export
add export statement in a bottom of d.ts file
#### -S, --exportStyle [value]
if --outExport true, select export style "es6" or "legacy"
```javascript
//--exportStyle "legacy"
declare module 'mylib'{
export = mylib; //legacy ts module export
}
//--exportStyle "es6"
declare module 'mylib'{
export defalut mylib; //es6 style module export
}
```
#### -M, --exportModuleName [value]
exporting module name.
ex. "EXAMPLE"; usage `import example = require("EXAMPLE");`
#### -l, --lib ``
add referrece path d.ts files.
ex. `--lib path/to/ex1.d.ts,path/to/ex2.d.ts`
=>
```javascript
///
///
```
## Known Issues
1. JSDoc tag (`@param`, `@return`) duplication when it was already defined in the target JavaScript code.
2. When `-p node` (Ternjs's Nodejs plugin) option is ON, dtsmake sometimes outputs nothing.
3. Only support Tern.js server plugins in [here](https://github.com/marijnh/tern/tree/0.14.0/plugin).
## TODOs
* Tern.js's server plugin without default support.
* tern/condense cmd cannot load 3rd party plugins (ex. [tern-gulp](https://github.com/angelozerr/tern-gulp) ), so, replace or patches it.
