Hi, all!

We’re happy to announce that our repository for Kotlin/JS declaration reached EAP stage. You can find information about how to use it and how to contribute there inside README.md in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/Kotlin/js-externals.

Right now it contains declarations only for few libraries:
* JQuery (1.10.0, 2.0.0, 3.2.0)
* React (15.6.0, 16.0.0)
* React Native (0.52.0)

But we going to add more, and hope to your help.
How can you help?
* Try it and give us feedback.
* Report any issues you find in existing declarations.
* Or fix them and send a Pull Request!
* Request or vote for declarations that are missing.
* Or create them yourself and send a Pull Request!

Please feel free to ask any questions here!

Have nice Kotlin!

Let's find a way to merge https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers into that

[bashor]

@Filipp Riabchun yes, let’s discuss it, I’ve created issue to add declarations in js-externals but used in kotlin-wrappers (mocha and react-dom)

[Filipp Riabchun]

the main issue would be differences in React declarations

[niklas]

@bashor Did you create the declarations by hand? I tried out ts2kt in the past and it seems to lack support for import declarations and did not generate declarations for basic functions. E.g. I tried converting react-dom and the result was only the Renderer with lots of compilation errors.

[bashor]

@niklas Most of work was done using ts2kt, some declarations was fixed manually after convertation. But we going to fix related issues in the convertor.

[uli]

Do you guys have an example project for react native using these wrappers?

[bashor]

@uli not yet

[chadmorrow]

@bashor What did you use as your source for ts2kt to generate these? I’ve tried it on the Definitely Typed definitions and don’t get anything near like what you’ve got.

[bashor]

@chadmorrow In a header of any index.kt you can find exact reference to original declaration

[bashor]

and make sure that you use the latest version of ts2kt

[chadmorrow]

Doh, I forgot it showed that in the header. Sorry
