Getting started

Step 1: Add a TypeScript Template file (.tst)
Step 2: Add the following code in the template

$Classes(*Model)[ // Find all classes with a name ending with Model
    class $Name {
        constructor($Properties[public $name: $Type][, ]) {
        }
    }
]

Step 3: Save the template
Step 4: Add a c# class named TestModel
Step 5: Add the following code to the class

using System;

namespace TestApplication
{
    public class TestModel
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public int Name { get; set; }
    }
}

Step 6: Save the class.

Each time a class matching the filter in the template is saved a TypeScript class matching the template is updated or added to the project.
