Translating Golang functions to TypeScript about typescriptify-golang-structs

[PaluMacil]

I don't think you could easily extend this to a state where it would be broadly useful. Most code depends upon other libraries, including the standard library. If you include, those things, then a feature needs to know how to translate those or somehow replace them with Typescript equivalents with often varying syntax or quirks that don't match Go. This isn't to say you can't do this, but it's far larger in scope than this project and should not be here. Luckily, nearly what you want also already exists in the form of gopherjs. I recommend you take a look at that project for transpiling Go to Javascript.

I would like to have functions as well, but in completely different way.
For example in go:

type MyService struct {
}

func (srv *MyService) Add(model MyModel) string {
    id := db.Add(model);
    return id
}

func (srv *MyService) Get(id string) MyModel {
    model := db.Get(id);
    return model
}

Results to:

export class MyService {
    axios: any; // or any other http or rpc client

    Add(model: MyModel): Promise<string>  {
        return axios.post("MyService/Add", { body: { model } });
    }

    Get(id: string): Promise<MyModel>  {
        return axios.post("MyService/Get", { body: { model } });
    }
}

I have Wails app and I would like to generate services to call backend using one single route in which case instead of axios it would be some function to call the backend.

@fairking What you're suggesting is a solution for a completely different problem than the one this library solves. Also, it's highly dependant on the http library/framework you use.

But, generally, transpiling code is something I don't plan to implement because it is way too complicated and I don't have the time to mantain that.
