dts-gen's Issues

-f option does not work at all?

Steps:

• npm install -g dts-gen
• (Tried with existing .js files, and with a new empty folder)
• create test.js with the following contents:

  var x = {};
  function TheFunction(y) {
  }
  TheFunction(x);
  

• dts-gen -f test.js
• fails with the following error:

I'll look to see if I can find the cause.

dts-gen vs tsc -d, --declaration

The two commands seem the same. What are the differences and which one should I use?

no such file or directory

After installing dts-gen with npm install -g dts-gen running it always triggers the error no such file or directory. It doesn't matter what flags I use of if I use no flags at all.

Running on debian linux with node v5.11.2 and npm 3.8.6

Duplicate identifier 'prototype' : listr

I was trying to generate .d.ts for listr

/** Declaration file generated by dts-gen */

export = listr;

declare class listr {
    constructor(...args: any[]);

    add(...args: any[]): void;

    render(...args: any[]): void;

    run(...args: any[]): void;

    setRenderer(...args: any[]): void;

}

declare namespace listr {
    namespace prototype {
    //        ^^^^^^^^^==============================> problem 
        const tasks: any;

        function add(...args: any[]): void;

        function render(...args: any[]): void;

        function run(...args: any[]): void;

        function setRenderer(...args: any[]): void;

    }

}

says

Duplicate identifier 'prototype'

Is there a way to update existing .d.ts file with a new javascript implementation?

Suppose I created a .d.ts file for a package library. Then, the author of library changed a few function definitions. If I run dts-gen -m library it will overwrite types in the exiting definition with any

Can dts-gen overwrite only changed definitions?

Tests not passing

Just run npm run test. @RyanCavanaugh

docs: update docs about generating defs - from local node_modules

Currently dts-gen forces users, to install library.,which we want generate types from, globally -> this is super annoying, forcing users to pollute they global npm store is also very unfortunate.

Can this be implemented?

thanks

dts-gen for excel4node 1.2.1

I am a newbie in typescript following typescript node starter tutorial. I ran dts-gen on excel4node v1.2.1. The generated d.ts has error at:

export namespace Workbook {
    namespace prototype {
        function addWorksheet(name: any, opts: any): any;

        function createStyle(opts: any): any;

        function getStringIndex(val: any): any;

        function setSelectedTab(id: any): void;

        function write(fileName: any, handler: any): void;

        function writeToBuffer(): any;
...

-- typescript complains "src/types/excel4node.d.ts(475,15): error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'prototype"

I would guess this is a bug triggered by source code referencing functions explicitly through the prototype property.... Will I be ok if I just delete the offending definition? After all above I see:

export class Workbook {
    constructor(opts: any);

    addWorksheet(name: any, opts: any): any;

    createStyle(opts: any): any;

    getStringIndex(val: any): any;

    setSelectedTab(id: any): void;

    write(fileName: any, handler: any): void;

    writeToBuffer(): any;

}

JavaScript heap out of memory

To reproduce just run dts-gen -m libsodium-wrappers

The package uses crypto so it makes sense it's heavy on ram. Not sure if there is a way to work around this.

Crash more gracefully when using --dt

While dts-gen shouldn't crash, it's just going to sometimes. That's fine, but DefinitelyTyped used to have a script that consistently worked. Now the instructions are to rely on dts-gen entirely, and having just tried it on a library (moonjs), it just crashed.

This package needs to have some sort of general graceful fallback behavior if DefinitelyTyped is going to rely on it. Otherwise we're making it way too annoying/difficult to contribute.

Scrape JSDoc when possible

If we can locate the source (either by having the user specify as an additional argument, or grokking node modules ourselves), we can try to line up the function and property jsdoc comments by name and re-attach them in the .d.ts, as well as put in inferred types.

expression-file doesn't seem to work; 'Couldn't load module "undefined"'

I'm trying

dts-gen --expression-file ./index.js

But I get

Couldn't load module "undefined". Please install it globally (npm install -g undefined) and try again.

Which doesn't make much sense.

How can I generate a .d.ts file for my library without having to globally install it first?

Support lookup in local node_modules

I think that forcing users to do a second install is a real pain since it's already installed. Is there any way we can make this work for a local node_modules folder?

Module names with @ symbol

For example:
dts-gen -m @mapbox/sphericalmercator cannot be working but
dts-gen -m sphericalmercator is working

Support "templates" for creating easy stubs

When a library can't load, we should still be able to generate something so that we can use this tool in lieu of explaining everything about how to set up a correct DefinitelyTyped folder

See if we can avoid requiring node modules to be installed globally

Crash when running dts-gen -m redux-actions

I just tried to generate a .d.ts file for redux-actions and I got the following exception:

Is there anything I can do to fix this issue?

Could you add the ability to dts-gen individual files

with an option to specify an output directory and name?

Thanks

basic type induction?

Automatic type induction is available in typescript. Is there a plan to support a subset rules such as string, number, and especially, React.component. e.g. I have to addextends React.Component<any,any> manually to make VScode not complain about the react component class used as .

Using on script runtime

Is there a way to use the tool in a way similar to that:

import gen from 'dts-gen';
class MyClass {
m1(){}
m2(){}
...
}

const o = new MyClass()

gen(o)

?

Error: jQuery requires a window with a document at module.exports

Hi.
I try to get type definition of react-virtual-keyboard and virtual-keyboard libraries. They are installed.
Then I write dts-gen -m react-virtual-keyboard and get an error:

Error: jQuery requires a window with a document at module.exports (/.../.../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.js:31:12) at /.../.../node_modules/virtual-keyboard/dist/js/jquery.keyboard.js:2899:2 at $.keyboard.base (/.../.../node_modules/virtual-keyboard/dist/js/jquery.keyboard.js:36:20) at Object.<anonymous> (/.../.../node_modules/virtual-keyboard/dist/js/jquery.keyboard.js:40:2) at Module._compile (module.js:570:32) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:579:10) at Module.load (module.js:487:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:446:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:438:3) at Module.require (module.js:497:17)

What does it mean?

I tried to use var s = document.createElement('script'); s.src = 'https://unpkg.com/dts-gen/bin/browser-bundle.js'; document.body.appendChild(s); in browser, but it didn't help me. Perhaps, I did something wrong.

dts-gen, unexpected crash using Adal-Node module.

Ran into this today while trying to short-cut writing a typings file. It asked that I log a bug since it was an unexpected crash. If it can be resolved, awesome!

Tried using Windows 10, administrative Powershell and command prompt, both dts-gen and adal-node were loaded globally with npm install -g <module>.

Use 'yargs' built-in cmdline verification where possible

Currently it's pretty manual and we might be missing some corner cases

https://microsoft.github.io/dts-gen/dts-gen.js returns 404

I'm trying to use the Browser version but https://microsoft.github.io/dts-gen/dts-gen.js

is 404 - I note that its work in progress - but should that 404?

Support operating on individual files

Maybe related to #14, but as people migrate their JavaScript to TypeScript and are looking for an easier process when --allowJs isn't picking up the slack, I think dts-gen can come in handy here.

How to generate .d.ts for ES6 Modules ?

(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { 
  import {NativeModules, DeviceEventEmitter, Platform} from 'react-native';

SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

I have a third party library written in ES6, how could I generate typings for this ?
